In the hopes of advancing the art, I have begun the initial work of setting up a central database for the world's escape artists. Its purpose is to provide a central location where escape artists can register and where potential clients can find help with locating and hiring an escape artist. It is called the 'Escape Artist Registry'. It is for all levels (novice, amateur, experienced, professional). You don't need to be looking for work to be registered. The only requirment is that you desire to be officially registered as an escape artist. Your information will not be given away or sold but it will be available to anyone searching the database so 'water mark' your picture if you are concerned about someone using it without your permission.
So, if you want to be numbered among your peers, email me 1) a promotional photo and 2) information in the format below- (contact can be an email or a phone number) Name : Clyde Mighells Country : United States City, State : Marienville, Pennsylvania Specialties : Hanging Strait Jacket, Chains, Locks, Handcuff Challenges, Underwater. Contact : clyde@mighellsillusions.com Web Site : mighellsillusions.com/oldindex.html escapingdrugs.com mighellsillusions.com Available : Yes. I'll be promoting the site once we have a working number of registrants. So, if you want to be officially on the record as an escape artist- let me hear from you! Though under construction, the site is escapeartistregistry.com Clyde |

You know, we have a lot of people out trying to re-invent the wheel these days. Clyde, I love your idea so please don't feel I am putting you down, I am not. Two years ago at the Cannon's Convention, Steve Baker says he wants to start a brotherhood of Escape Artists, Tom from Escape Masters says he already has things in place with his magazine. Steve likes my idea for a name, The International Escapologist Society. It has nice initials. Another fellow starts a web based registry. I joined it, and I think Cindini is on there and a few others. I don't know if it is still up and running.
I love the idea of a group of us like IBM or SAM is to magicians. Thanks to the Cannon's a group of us now know each other that would otherwise not have met. What I am saying is, lets get it all together. I have no right to enforce anything on anybody, but I dare say the Cannon's certainly have a nice list of us, as does Escape Masters. Thanks to WEAR II there is a nice list of 64 of us over on Dr. Wilson's page. I think if we pooled our resources, we would have a very strong database indeed. Clyde, as I said, I like the idea. Would you consider talking to some of the other entities first to see if we can all work together? Always respectfully, Cliff

Cliff,
I understand and respect what you are saying. Each of the efforts you mentioned are admirable. This one however has a different function and therefore a need to stand on its own. The lists you mentioned are for EAs and for OUR information. This registry is for the promoter or client who wants information on where to find an EA to hire. I don't believe any of the other lists are searchable by the public on a "for hire" basis. I'm glad to collaberate on EA functions and with all those mentioned however I believe that this service is still needed even in light of the other efforts. Just my thoughts.... Clyde |
