Hey Folks,
New to the forum, hello! I am interested in finding literature that explains in detail how to open cuffs/leg irons that are ungimmicked. And perhaps even contains an area on how to gimmick cuffs. Mostly the Darbys, & American styles... Thanks, MM |

Hi ya, Magic man, which part of canada are you from ? Talk to Pastor Clyde about opening handcuffs, the man is a walking handcuff pick.

Agreed with Rick. Or you can also talk to Ian McColl.
Else Handcuffs.org might have something like that. Do they? Rick? I think you may know better than me. I have not spent much time there. Regards Wolflock

Holy **** Ian. It is a wonder you didn't note down what is in them too. LOL.
I did not even know there were that many books on the subject. *Sigh* Even more stuff to get now. I need to get more finances. Regards Wolflock

Wow Ian, that is an incredible bibliography!

I have most of the books in Ian's list and can vouge for all of them. They are detailed,well written and give you the information you are looking for. In short, you can't go wrong!
Clyde BTW, what Ian didn't say in his post is that he is the author and brains behind those books. Well done Ian! Clyde |

I can particularly recommend Ian's book "Gimmicked handcuffs and restraints", especially as you mentioned you like the Darby cuffs. A gold mine!
Also, I don't think you'd regret owning a copy of "Modern Handcuff Secrets for Magicians" by Dick Norman. Regards Riley |
