hi,

What does escape artist mean?

 

[Miss Julie]

An escape artist is a performer (e.g., a magician) who entertains by escaping from confinement.

Thanks,it was about the water torture cell.

Was the article about David Blaine? He's probably the most famous escape artist in the world.

A dog that is often successful at slipping out of the door and running off or who manages to dig his way out of the back yard and so forth may also sometimes be referred to as an "escape artist."

It's about Houdini.

Ah...I should have said David Blaine is probably the most famous living escape artist in the world!
