I've never been restrained by Jeff Sheridan's Wrists.
Is he not using them? Is it in a magic nook book Jim? |

I have it on a cheap dvd that someone bought me for my birthday, his wrist are tied with a rope, then you thread a rope thru the middle of his rope and back to you, hold the ends at a distance and cover his wrist and rope, then he releases your rope.hope you can understan that explanation??

Try the book,
Scouting for Boys its one of the best-selling books of all time – perhaps 150 million copies have been sold in various editions and 87 languages since 1908. The 1913 edition Scouting For Boys has this advice to offer on the following subjects: Suicide: 'When a man has gone so far as to attempt suicide, a scout should know what to do with him. In a case where the would-be suicide has taken poison, give milk and make him vomit, which is done by tickling the inside of the throat with a finger or a feather…In the case of hanging, cut down the body at once, taking care to support it with one arm while cutting the cord… A tenderfoot [novice] is sometimes inclined to be timid about handling an insensible man or a dead man, or even of seeing blood. Well, he won’t be much use till he gets over such nonsense.' Slaughtering cattle: 'If you are a beginner in slaughtering with the knife, it is sometimes useful to first drop the animal insensible by a heavy blow with a big hammer or the back of a felling-axe on top of the head.' Stopping a runaway horse: 'don’t run in front of it with your arms waving. Rather run alongside it, catch hold of it, seize the reins and bring it up against a wall or a house to compel it to stop.' Saving someone who has fallen in front of a train: 'if the train is very close, lie flat between the rails, [and] make the man do the same till the train passes over while everybody else will be running about screaming and excited and doing nothing.' exert from http://qi.com/infocloud/scouts

Anything about stopping a nosebleed by applying a tourniquet around the neck?

Ram a bulls horn up the noes so it cant bleed any more (see notes on slaughtering cattle).... or jam a poker (the iron implement for tending ions not the game of cards)up the noes to cauterise the blood vessels. Obviously it should be a red hot poker. Sounds like a new thread in not very magical still to me. may go over there now..... |

Ian! It's the 'BOY SCOUT HANDBOOK"
BTW: That must have been a very old BSHB! I've been a Scouter for 70 years, as of 2014, and I'm planning on continuing until I get it "right"!

This used to be in all the basic magic books, about 100 years ago. I've seen it called the "Arab Slave Traders Escape".
I've been using it occasionally, for almost 40 years. It's a delightful piece.

It made it on to QI recently in the UK. I say recently ..... it was on Dave so it was a repeat from BBC2 at some point.
