Burrell, who is also a strongman, began to perform escapology in 2001 and continues to explore the limits of his craft – which he says is as much a part of magic today as when Houdini first made headlines.
Burrell unlocked nine handcuffs in one minute in 2015, breaking his own world record.
The lunch, starting at 12pm, costs £22 per person, and will include a glass of bubbly on arrival, a three-course meal with coffee and wine, plus the 45-minute talk.
