"How does he do it?" That is the question people ask after experiencing an ARIOCH performance.  And a logical question it is, considering that his list of accomplishments borders on the mythological.  He has escaped from audience challenge devices such as rope ties, chains & locks, handcuffs, canvas bags, and antique shackles.  He has escaped from regulation strait-jackets while hanging upside down in mid-air, from handcuffs & chains after jumping into pools & lakes, from a steel oil drum filled with water and padlocked on the outside, and countless other restraints.

He directly involves members of the audience in his close up and stage magic, real people, who live the rest of their lives with the spark of magic in their hearts. His ability to draw people into his performances, to compel people to care so much about what he does, is the true secret of ARIOCH. Those who hire him are astonished at the reaction he invokes in his audiences. As one reporter put it, "Trust us, his hocus-pocus sends chills up your spine!"
