Alan Alan(1926-2014)
- Actor
Escapologist, Magician and owner of the magic shop "Alan Alan's Magic
Spot" in the West End of London. He retired in the mid Nineteen
Nineties. As an escapologist he was best known for being tied up in
chains and hung upside down from a burning rope. This was a mixture of
comedy and suspense. With a small stature he always chose the largest
members of the audience to tie him up; dragging him around the stage
with his hands handcuffed behind him and the chain through legs. The
mood soon changed as he thrashed and span upside down with bits of
burning rope falling around him. He is a well respected mentor of many
magicians including Michael Vincent.
