Austin Richards

Doctor MegaVolt is a variety stunt act that pits a man (or a woman) in a metal suit against 1 million volts of electricity from a large Tesla Coil. This is a real stunt – it is not CGI, trick photography, or some kind of laser projection! Austin Richards was the first person to perform this stunt back in March of 1997, and is the designer of the metal suit and Tesla Coil used in his act.
