Here's what people are saying about Mark & Sheila Cannon:
"...It was truly a commanding performance, and your exceptional escape abilities continue to impress us as they have audiences worldwide.... the eloquent and succinct way in which you presented them to the camera helped make the show a success. Our only wish is that we can include you in another of our programs in the future.
....Gary, Morningstar Entertainment
"Mark & Sheila Cannon...Slipping the Knots to Fame"....Front Page L.A. Times
"Thanks again for performing at the Madrid show. Your performance was the best attention
driver we've had at (our) booth to date. We will definitely keep you in mind for future shows"
....Noelle,
BLVDWest
"Mark is definitely in the upper percentile, because he does real things - like Houdini
did"
....The Sun, San Bernardino CA
"Mark & Sheila...were GREAT! I've been involved
with this event for twenty years, and I can honestly say you were my favorite
performers. I've heard nothing but very positive comments about your show
from people who attended. The show was very professional, entertaining,
and enjoyed by people of all ages...I found you very easy to work with..."
....Mark,
Victorian Fair, Winona, MN
"Modern-day escapist, Mark Cannon...performs stunts with his wife Sheila around the world. Recently he got himself out of a triple-locked solid steel diamond-plated box, while his hands and feet were
shackled."
....Fox News, NY
"Cannon...one of the few escapists who has performed at the (Hollywood) Magic
Castle."
....The Daily Press, Hampton Roads, Virginia
"California escape artists slip into demand"....Seattle Times
Mark & Sheila Cannon's show is a refreshingly different -and Dangerous- escape act that is designed for sophisticated adult and family audiences. Their unique, fast-paced performance consists of audience participation, exciting visual magic, and death-defying escapes. As an example, in the "Spiked Cabinet", Mark must escape from underneath a wall of spikes before the rope supporting them burns through! AND ALL OF THIS ACTION TAKES PLACE IN FULL VIEW OF THE AUDIENCE - not behind a curtain. This act alone is usually talked about for days by those who have witnessed it.
