Kristen Johnson is an escape artist who works with her husband magician Kevin Ridgeway under the names Living Illusions and Ridgeway & Johnson. As a successful performer in her own right she stands out in the male-dominated world of magic and she is one of a very small number of women to achieve prominence in the field of escapology.
The couple are christians and have specialised in performing for christian events and organisations under the Living Illusions name. As their act has become more successful they have expanded into a full-length touring show under the Ridgeway & Johnson name, which has played in all types of venues.
Kristen's signature trick is the "Full View Water Torture Cell" - in which she is chained up and locked inside a water filled tank from which she escapes in full view of the audience. The full view aspect differentiates it from Houdini's water torture cell escape, which required a curtain to be drawn to obscure him from the audience while he escaped. She performed the original version of the the stunt as part of the "Worldwide Escape Artist's Relay" in 2005, which was an attempt to set a world record for the largest number of escapes performed in a day.
