Welcome to

MARK & SHEILA CANNON
are leading performers of Escape, Magic & Illusion, and have been featured year after year at the WORLD FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD MAGIC CASTLE, on Cruise ships, television, the Disneyland Hotel, Europe, as well as all of the hotels in the Palm Springs Resort area.  Additionally, they have designed several unique escapes for other performers for use on TV in Hollywood, Las Vegas, New York, London, Cancun, Germany,  Asia, and regularly consult on major motion picture and television projects.

~You can usually catch Mark & Sheila performing at the world famous Hollywood Magic Castle!~

Mark & Sheila Cannon's show is a refreshingly different -and Dangerous- escape act that is designed for sophisticated adult and family audiences. Their unique, fast-paced performance consists of audience participation, exciting visual magic, and death-defying escapes. As an example, in the "Spiked Cabinet", Mark must escape from underneath a wall of spikes before the rope supporting them burns through! AND ALL OF THIS ACTION TAKES PLACE IN FULL VIEW OF THE AUDIENCE - not behind a curtain. This act alone is usually talked about for days by those who have witnessed it.

If you host a magic organization and would like to schedule Mark & Sheila Cannon's 21st Century Escape Lecture, click here. This is the same lecture that was recently featured at the Hollywood Magic Castle and met with rave reviews.
Mark & Sheila Cannon are also owners of Cannon's Great Escapes, a company that provides escape equipment for the professional escape artist.
