Lovell has been buried alive twice—on Halloweens in 2008 and 2012—an escape that Houdini said he would only do once because of its inherent level of danger. Lovell also has been shackled and dropped into the Singapore River, cut celebrity Paris Hilton in half, read the mind of personality Nicole Richie and was challenged by members of the U.S. Military to escape from a straitjacket. He was an opening act for both legendary movie actor Tony Curtis and talk show host Larry King during award ceremonies in 2009 and 2012. Lovell's television guest appearances have included the shows “MANswers,” “The Simple Life with Paris Hilton,” “Living in LA LA Land” and “Gene Simmons Family Jewels.”
