Answering the call of legacy, the World Records Authority proudly recognises Amey Vinaykumar Sarang (AVS), the third-generation illusionist, for his death-defying escape — the 100-Escape Act.
On 19 May 2012, at Haiko Mall in Mumbai, AVS achieved the seemingly impossible: escaping from 100 feet of iron chains, steel handcuffs, and multiple padlocks in a stunning 42 seconds. This exceptional display of skill and courage stands as one of the most remarkable escape acts ever verified by WRA.
“We honour this exceptional display of skill and courage.” — World Records Authority
AVS — who also holds WRA records for “The Freeze” and the Fastest Blindfolded Go-Kart Laps — continues to cement his legacy as one of the world’s most extraordinary illusionists and escape artists.
