I´m too chicken to do any underwater escapes, and I can´t afford a sub trunk yet. The mail bag escape is a bit lame, I mean, what if you don´t get out of it?? Nothing would happen, more than being made fun of. My plot is to put 20 pairs of socks in it before going into the bag. They are leftovers from some mens locker room, and the gases from them WILL get you killed in one minute if you don´t get out of there. Don´t forget the large clock.

I guess that would be cool if you have a weird fetish for socks lol. That would raise the stakes though.

I always told my audience that canvas wasn't very porous, and that if I wasn't out in a few minutes, I'd risk suffocation. They bought it.

What a great idea. An escape from a bag full of dirty laundry! Preferably from your local famous sports team ( football, rugby, basketball ) just after a match. Or this is what you tell the audience as you carefully remove and display a jock strap at arm's length, as worn by a celebrity player.
"Ladies and gentlemen. How long can you hold your breath? I have only 90 seconds to free myself, otherwise my chances of survival are nil!" You drop the jockie back in and climb in after it to begin your escape. You take a few breaths, then one big breath and disappear into the bag. Who needs Houdini's water torture?
We're having a laugh!

Maybe those socks are the ones that go into the 4th dimension everytime you do laundry? I think it would be kewl to do a subtrunk change using a mailbag. Put you assistant in the bag, handcuffed. Stand in front of the bag and lift up the cover cloth. You raise it over your head and drop it. Now your assistant is outside the bag and you are inside IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE! The lock/bar that closes the and locks the bag is gimmicked. The bag opens and closes easily. I think Copperfield could move over if you could get this effect perfected.

Hey, great idea Hawk. It's a terrific variation on the gas chamber escape. This would be an excellent effect to pitch to any sporting event for a half time show. It has tons of great comedic possibilities. Good luck with it.
Best regards, Tony |

Wow! I had forgotten all about this thread. Thanks for all the response. I´m glad that, at last, there were some people who liked the idea. Feel free to use it, you don´t have to give credits if you do or if you use it in a book or video or something. He he....

Tom Carrier and I have invented and are soon to release a bag escape that could retire all other bags. There has never been a concept like this one. It is a true mystery no danger required. The audience will never figure this out. I think you can do this in 60 seconds. It is a new principal entirely and brings the sack escape into the modern age
Coming this fall the greatest mystery of 2004. Also I am slowly building Tom and myself a restraining iron hand made and escape proof. This is hand made verses modern tecnology. There will be only two pair of these cuffs. They will have parts that adjust to wrist size and can even be used for torture on the wrist. Not that this feature will be applied but it will be there. The actual locks will also be hand made and defy all picking. Norm Bigelow

It is available through Escape Masters Magazine, for those who are members. Beyond that I'm not sure.
