19th CENTURY "SÉANCE" HANDCUFF

Looking for an addition to your Halloween Show?  How about this:  The performer displays an old looking pair of Mid-19th Century "Darby" adjustable handcuffs.  These are the type used in Houdini's era, and require a "screw-key" to open.  A spectator checks the cuff's lock mechanism, and assures the audience that the locking device is not gimmicked in any way (they're not!).  They are then locked on yourself, and the KEYHOLES ARE SEALED WITH A WAX SEAL to prevent tampering with a key, or pick.  You then demonstrate that the cuffs are VERY solid by trying to pull your wrists apart SHARPLY.  The Darbies are indeed secure.  You then step behind a curtain, and almost immediately reemerge WEARING YOUR JACKET NOW TURNED INSIDE-OUT!  But the cuffs are still locked on your wrists, and the wax seals are undisturbed!  DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE CUFFS ARE GIMMICKED TO ALLOW YOUR TWO STILL-CUFFED HANDS TO QUICKLY UN-ATTACH & REATTACH TO EACH OTHER, many strange things are possible:  Magically "link" up with a wicker chair or metal ring; have the cuffs attached to a post that you are locked to, and then magically cause tambourines to rattle, horns to blow, etc., (ala' Davenport Bros.) and yet when the curtains are opened (or lights turned back on) you are still locked to the post!  DO THE SPIRITS RETURN?  Antique finish only.  Created by Mark Cannon.
