In a statement Nil says, 鈥淲hat scares me is to fail. Escape is not guaranteed. If I fail to make an escape鈥� the consequences are unimaginable.鈥� Producer Rainer Hackl adds, 鈥淣o
one alive today has seen a show like this. It simply does not exist.
Everything the audience sees is real. These are not illusions; there are
no safety measures, and no hidden tricks.鈥�
Born in Italy, Lord Nil is a writer, illusionist, and escape artist, who made his American TV debut on America's Got Talent.
The limited engagement will also have production management by Duncan Northern, general management by Visceral Entertainment, and company management by Tim Sulka for Visceral Entertainment.
