Paul Szauter never set out to be an escape artist. For years he worked as a magician, but he grew tired of deceiving his audiences. So he turned to locks, chains and straitjackets. The central message of escape is that even the most daunting obstacles can be overcome. Szauter learned this lesson from his father, who narrowly escaped Communist-dominated Hungary after World War Two. Josh Gleason brings us his story.
