What videos are there on the market are there about strait jacket escapes (not suspended). any URL's would be appreciated.

The Jay Leslie VHS tape is the only one ever to hit the market. This covers all aspects of escape with a humane jacket except adding chains. It includes upside down and burning rope, as well as the basic escape.

The Jay Leslie video has some 'real world " experience on it as well as a display by my pal Joe Fox of his "truly amazing" Jail Lock collection, Well worth the expense

Stay positive all

OK I take that back. I think there is info on a posey with side and belly loops on the 21st century escape video at cannons. I don't own it so I can't say for sure.

You're right Mike, Mark covers his Posey three loop jacket escape on the video, which is packed FULL of lots of great information and I highly recommend getting the tape as well as the lecture notes. Also, the International Magician's Society Course in Magic Video Volume #36
"Escape Magic by Scott Interrante" does cover escape from a Posey jacket with friction buckles and crotch strap (no loops). The SJ segment only runs about seven minutes or so and is certainly not as detailed as the Jay Leslie tape,(plus, there's no Joe Fox cameo) but the other stuff on the tape,(cuffs, chain, rope and mailbag) is not bad, and overall a good tape for beginners in my opinion, and a bargain at only $19.95US. (But you have to join the Society, and there's a one time $25.00 fee for a lifetime membership) To contact the IMS go to http://www.learnmagic.com.
To get the Cannon's 21st Century Escape Lecture video go to http://www.cannonsgreatescapes.net
Hope this helps.
