Alexanderia the Great is a world class escape artist and one of the few women in the world to attempt such death defying escapes. Whether its setting world records on TV, training to the extreme (power lifting, lifting underwater or long underwater breath holds) or fighting to extricate myself from chains, shackles, handcuffs, strait jackets or rope from dangerous situations like the bottom of a deep pool or my very own Underwater Cell (UC), you can count on Alex to amaze.
Here Harry Houdini, The Master of Escape, is about to do one of his famous bridge jumps. In his escape, he was restrained with a single five-foot chain with one padlock and a pair of handcuffs. Compare his restraints to mine. Here I am in a chain straitjacket with an additional 25 feet of chains wrapped around my body and shackles around my ankles. A chain is padlocked to my ankle restraints and another padlock to the chains around my body to be sure I cannot kick to the surface. I am padlocked with a total of 8 padlocks and weighted down with a 15lb lead weight belt around my waist. All totaled I, the Queen of Extreme, must extricate myself from the bottom of a pool held down by a staggering 55lbs of chains, shackles, padlocks and lead weight. I must get out of all of these restraints in one breath or risk a drowning death. Is it just me or did Harry have it easy?
CAUTION: I am a trained professional. Do not attempt these escapes yourself.
