Late of Barnum and Bailey's Circus, in an act that borders on the miraculous, Le Amson escapes from police and prison, handcuffs (German and American), straight-jackets, leg irons, shakes, locks, chains and ropes. Le Amson, the jail-breaker, will escape from a German straight-jacket whilst suspended above bayonets and swords. The ropes that support his body will be set on fire.
