Female Escape Artist

Lady Houdini

Lady Houdini, the name given to Kristen Johnson by an Inside Edition producer at CBS Studios in New York, has definitely stuck. Especially since she has more than doubled immortal Harry Houdini's record for the most Water Torture Cell escapes ever performed, which historians and magic aficionados worldwide estimate to be just over one thousand. She broke Houdini’s record in 2012 as she successfully performed her 1,001st public escape during the Georgia State Fair at the Atlanta Speedway. She is currently over 2,000 attempts and counting. 

Kristen, a real escapologist, has carved out a living, performing her daredevil brand of escapes around the world, live and on TV.
