About this event
About this event
The worlds of systems engineering and escapology overlap in a spectacular fashion when Dr Jon Holt, internationally renowned systems engineer, puts his life on the line recreating and re-engineering Houdini’s classic upside down straitjacket escape, but on a burning rope! Jon abandons his usual mentalism performances to demonstrate how rigorous engineering techniques can be applied to safety-critical systems (any system where people may be hurt if things go wrong) by performing this classic stunt. Jon has previously won awards for his original and innovative approaches to teaching and disseminating engineering best practice and this stunt shows his latest, and most spectacular, effort to date. Jon will be delivering a lecture to show how this was done, before showing footage of him performing the stunt itself. Jon Holt is an engineer by day, a mentalist by night and a Member of Psycrets.
