In Budapest, David Merlini attempts the most scientifically challenging escape yet that includes being fastened in a straightjacket while enduring the pain of simultaneously being instantly frozen in a solid block of ice. Jan Rouvin’s fate hangs in the balance as he attempts the infamous jaws of death escape. Spencer Horsman pushes himself to the ultimate limits of dexterity and sheer willpower in which there is no way out other than by his own means! This is a true do or die escape! Finally, Michael Turco takes the cup and spike street challenge to a larger than life-sized level by hurtling himself from two stories high onto four covered beds in separate jumps in which one is a bed of nails and would certainly result in death. The witnesses choose his fate. Let’s hope they choose well!

David Merlini recreates a brutal execution scenario used centuries ago at the Salem Witch Trials-being burned alive at the stake! Will he escape unscathed before he succumbs to the fiery inferno or, if he survives, could this be the one escape that will alter the rest of his career? Back in China, Franz Harary attempts a twist on the Houdini trunk escape by being bound and locked in a trunk that is then hoisted 80 feet above the ground. You’ll witness the nerve-wracking dramatic effects when the worst case scenario happens! Then, Jonathan Pendragon shows us his martial arts expertise first in practice and then in a display of sheer eye to hand coordination in which one slip could have disastrous results!
