This week’s magic tutorial teaches how to escape from a pair of regular handcuffs in only 60 seconds. Harry Houdini, a famous escape artist, could get out of any set of handcuffs by adding a river or a rope. To free yourself, put a sling through the rope tied around your hand, move it over your hand, and then pull it out again. It’s important to keep your fingers free.
An instructional magic trick video explains how to escape from a set of professional handcuffs, just like the famous escape artist Houdini did. To free yourself, put a sling through the rope tied around your hand, move it over your hand, and then pull it out again. It’s important to keep your fingers free.
As a magician, do you know how to “trick-out” a pair of handcuffs for rapid escape? As a hobbyist, do you have the simple knowledge to defeat cuffs in double-lock mode?
