SMITH & WESSON MODEL 100 ADA SUPER DELUXE HANDCUFFS

UNQUESTIONABLY THE BEST GAFFED HANDCUFF IN THE WORLD TODAY. These are listed separately from the bridge jumpers (listed elsewhere), because even though they are S&W 100’s and look exactly the same, THERE IS NO COMPARISON! Here’s why: you can lock these on a volunteer and have him try to pull them open. He cannot. You then unlock him with the key. The cuffs are then placed on you. AGAIN, THE VOLUNTEER IS ALLOWED TO TRY TO PULL OPEN THE HANDCUFFS.  Again, he cannot. And yet, you instantly escape without the use of keys or tools. Remember, unlike bridge jumpers, these are inspectable EVEN ONCE THEY ARE LOCKED ON YOU. Custom-made to your wrist size.

SMITH & WESSON MODEL 1 ADA SUPER DELUXE HANDCUFFS

The same incredible ADA Super Deluxe handcuff as described above, but in the S&W MODEL 1 handcuff! This handcuff has a wider range of adjustable sizes, which makes it particularly nice for those with large wrists. The effect is the same as the model 100: you lock these on a volunteer and have him try to pull them open. He cannot. You then unlock him with the key. The cuffs are then placed on you. AGAIN, THE VOLUNTEER IS ALLOWED TO TRY TO PULL OPEN THE HANDCUFFS. Again, he cannot. And yet, you instantly escape without the use of keys or tools. Remember, unlike bridge jumpers, these are inspectable EVEN ONCE THEY ARE LOCKED ON YOU. Custom-made to your wrist size.

CUFF-PARTMENT© 2005

This is a brand new secret weapon for the real escape professional. This handcuff is beautifully made “from the ground up” from laser-cut stainless steel. The lock mechanism, key hole, etc., are all legitimate, so the cuffs pass inspection. Yet, each cuff contains an ingeniously constructed and hidden secret compartment that allows you to not only hide the key needed to escape, but other keys, tools, etc., needed for other restraints, padlocks, etc. Just add this handcuff into the mix with several otherwise legitimate challenger’s handcuffs and leg irons, and you have a real media-attention getter!

STR8-CUFF© 2005

The hit of the 2005 Escape Artist Convention!  If you were there, you will remember EVERYONE trying to get out of this device.  "Half-handcuff and Half-strait jacket" is the best way to describe this restraint.  First, the steel shackles encircle your biceps.  Next, the smaller shackles in the front cuff your wrists.  Lastly, the entire device is locked with a single padlock!  For the "hardcore" you can try and pick open the padlock (not recommended).  Or, use an "Australian Tricked Padlock" and you are set.  Or, use the gimmicked version of the Str8-Cuff in conjunction with a real padlock!  Please include circumference measurements of your wrists and biceps (immediately above the elbows).  Something new in the world of escapes from Ian McColl.   

HOUDINI’S RUSSIAN MANACLE

Probably the most often seen, yet most mysterious handcuff in all of the Houdini photographs. When Houdini arrived back from his Siberian tour in 1904, he brought with him this MASSIVE, FIVE POUND, “mouse ears shaped”, brass and steel handcuff. They were recently seen again in the TNT movie “Houdini”. Our most popular recreated handcuff.  

LIGHTSPEED 100 HANDCUFFS (SILENT IN-AGAIN, OUT AGAIN)

Over the years, one of the most requested items has been for a SILENTLY OPERATING, "In-again, Out-again" MODERN STYLE handcuff.  Although this cuff is not meant for close inspection, it is GREAT FOR THE CLASSIC COMEDY ROUTINE where the magician is cuffed behind his back, and IMMEDIATELY escapes and proceeds to play with the volunteers standing next to him, pick-pocketing, etc.  However, every time he turns around, HE IS STILL HANDCUFFED!  He ends by walking forward, free of the cuffs, AND THE SPECTATORS ARE MANACLED TO EACH OTHER!  Completely silent, both during "escape" and "re-enter" mode--NO RATCHETING SOUND.  (Of course, there is ratcheting sound at the start when you are first locked in).

PERFECT FOR THEATRICAL WORK, PLAYS, MOVIES, ETC.

SMITH & WESSON MODEL 100 QUICK PICK HANDCUFFS 

This gaffed handcuff TRULY locks onto your (or a spectator’s) wrists. It can only be taken off two ways: with the key, or INSTANTLY with a STRAIGHT lock pick (or even a safety pin, etc) BY ACCESSING THE DOUBLE-LOCK OVAL HOLE! It truly only takes one second per cuff. So, you can do FULL VIEW picking, or if you wish, have the key hole taped over (since you aren’t going to use the key hole anyway!)

Here’s another idea: Have yourself cuffed “spread-eagle” to a board. With a little bit of practice, (and a strategically placed, small nail head protruding from the board), YOU USE THE NAIL HEAD TO UNLOCK THE CUFF! 

PALMER MANACLES—STANDARD OR GIMMICKED

Originally patented in 1876, these handcuffs/leg irons have one of the most unique designs ever created. Each bracelet is comprised of 3 hinged sections. After each wrist (or ankle) is locked in a bracelet, the two bracelets snap together forming cuffs. Or, you can order the connecting chain (not pictured) to connect the cuffs. These cuffs are available in handcuff size or leg iron size. Now also available gimmicked for quick escape! Available in blackened steel, as well as nickel finish.

• Please specify which size and if connecting chain is desired, and standard or gimmicked. Also, blackened or nickel finish.
• Connecting Chain Discontinued - Only 2 Left!

PALMER NECK COLLAR

A perfect compliment to the Palmer Manacles. This neck collar is comprised of the same bracelet/locking system described above. Additionally, it comes with a chain that has a ring at the end for attaching to Palmer Manacles. Available in blackened steel, as well as nickel finish.   

• Please specify blackened or nickel finish.

HOUDINI’S WORLD FAMOUS MIRROR CHALLENGE HANDCUFF

You remember the story: in 1904 the London Mirror Newspaper challenged Houdini to escape from a one-of-a-kind handcuff that had taken a locksmith five years to create. It took Houdini over an hour, but he finally freed himself from the mighty MIRROR HANDCUFF. To this day controversy surrounds the incident. While the original Mirror Cuff is in a private collection, you now can own a beautiful recreation of the world’s most famous handcuff. Available with the complex Bramah Lock 7 Slider cylinder lock or standard lock, as well as gimmicked.

• Please specify Bramah lock, standard lock, or gimmicked for inspectable escape.

RANKIN HANDCUFF

This is an absolute CLONE of the original.  Even the patent, name, etc., are on the lock cases.  However, the name "McColl" appears on the cuff to show that it is not an actual original--otherwise you would never know!  If you always wanted to own this manacle, but didn't want to pay $600-$700, here is your chance!

TOWER KAHLKE HANDCUFF

Although invented in 1892, it is unknown if this highly unusual “solid” handcuff was ever actually produced. Believed to be Towers answer to Bean’s Giant handcuff, these are an absolute must for any serious collector. A real challenge for an escape artist.  

GERMAN BERLINER HANDCUFF—STANDARD OR GIMMICKED

Very rustic and antique looking, this beautifully made adjustable handcuff of yesteryear is available with any of the four original lock cases: square top (pictured), round top, castle top and nozzle top. The gimmicked version is truly ingenious! Withstands being locked on another’s wrists, but YOU can quickly escape!

• Please specify which top preferred AND standard or gimmicked.

SPANISH EXECUTION MANACLE

THUMBSCREWS

POLITICALLY INCORRECT! But they sure are beautiful and very well made. These tighten down on the performer’s thumbs via a windlass. Then, if you wish, a padlock can be used to lock the thumbs in place. Your thumbs will definitely be secure. But with a little bit of misdirection, you can instantly escape and reinsert your thumbs for your favorite comedy “thumb tie” routine. And since there is nothing gimmicked, they are completely inspectable. There is also a ring at the top in case you should choose to attach a chain, etc. (Or perhaps you will want to hang yourself by your thumbs?!... Please don’t!) Very nice.  

• Please specify natural steel or nickel finish.
