Balcom
Daredevil Illusionist Aaron Balcom has appeared on ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NHK, NBC, PBS, ProSieben, truTV & WB television networks.
In 2011, he made history by vanishing the iconic Michigan Central Station in his hometown of Detroit, following up one year later, by successfully attempting the one escape that eluded Harry Houdini, being buried alive. While preparing for several all new "mega illusions" and a reality television show at the time, disaster struck while rehearsing his next dangerous escape, which led to severe neck and spinal injuries, putting a halt to his career.
The subsequent years have been occupied with healing, recovery and rebuilding. Now that the stage lights have cooled and the glitz and glamour have all faded, his next chapter will focus on a book describing his journey from partial paralysis, to where he is at today, as well as live speeches of the same topics. Proceeds will be donated to fund the research of neck, spinal and neurological injuries.
