Does anyone know where I can buy a set of skeleton keys and a book on escapology and methods?

Firstly, why do you want the skeleton keys?

If it's for escape work, you need to get the book(s) long prior to anything else.

That said, I'd touch base with Joe Steven's Magic Emporium here in the states. I know he had several books and a video series on escape and lock pick work. I'll also recommend the Laundry Bag escape, they are selling for dirt cheap! Very cool piece!

Skeleton Keys? If you are talking about key picks for warded locks (AKA Skeleton Keys), state side http://www.southord.com I think with the passing of David De-Val his would be tough to come by overseas.

Steve's Magic Emp. (as Darmoe said) has several rare video tapes, if you have NTSC cap.

I agree, Skeleten keys are for warded locks....I made my own by simply grinding down the middle sections of and warded lock key.

No one really uses warded locks any more....I remember when I was a kid....I even bought a skeleten key at a locksmith (you know they kind that went into locks that look like a keyhole).
