You can buy them off of ebay the internet. your local magic shop or even your local toy store.

I had an Abbott's mail-bag. I may one day get another mailbag, probably from Cannon (McColl version)

I tried to fit the shackles around my ankles but the chains are too short, but if you add something to the ends that will lengthen them and still allow you to lock them together, it would be fine. My very first time trying an escape was when I was in the fifth grade...I used to love buying magic sets (usually just for one certain item ) and I saw the chain escape in one of them. I don't have the set or directions, so I can't remember what they said about the escape (i.e., how to perform) but I do know that it's like a Siberian Chain Escape. I remember performing for the family, but it took me a good time to get out of them...I'd like to say about 3-4 minutes. After that, my hands were all marked where the chains had been and slightly scratched from pulling my hands out. I found it again a few months ago and I don't remember how to wrap my wrists in the chains as they showed, but I am pretty good at escaping with the regular one padlock on in any way. Last week I tried TWO locks (ooh...scary! ) and it was as hard as my mom's corn muffins to get out of! Takes me awhile to get out of them still...but after the first time I learned to always carry a key ! This is also how I came up with the term "EA's wrists" (like Swimmer's Ear, Athlete's Foot, etc.)...which I think is kind of corney, but I like to say it . I recently added a Death Device to my very small collection. I have only one key, so that is what I use to escape from the cuffs currently. I would like to find other possible ways (easier too ) to escape though...just so I can give the key out for somebody to hold. The neck piece is also pretty big on me...but it can't fit over my head. Also, some time ago, my father gave me a handcuff key (he's a police officer) but he forgot...so he has no idea as to how I escape from his cuffs . I now plan to buy many more items. And here I am now.... Daniel P.S. (Sorry I didn't just answer your question...lol ) |

Daniel I think you answered my Question. plus I'll be sure to watch out for your Mom's corn Muffins. if her muffins are to hard why not try using them for something else. measure that key you have and find two more like it.

Maybe I can make the keys out of the muffins .
I bought a couple of toy handcuff sets like you said to find the key, but it's still a bit too small...doesn't fit in the hole. Luckily I didn't open the packaging fully and with a bit of hot glue got my money back . I'm going to keep looking. Daniel |
