heya guys,

My name is Ben and Im from the sunny ol' southampton in the UK.I am 17 years old, I have been intrested in magic since I was 5 years old and have steadly been filling up my arsnel of ticks and effects over the years. I do not often perform many tricks in a professional capacity as most of the work I do is as a Street Performer mixing juggling and fire manipulation. The effects I involve in my routine is the "rope thru body" and a sack escape with morocan wrist restraint. I plan on a career in Product design but would like to become a profesional performer.

Ben

Welcome, welcome, welcome

Nice to see some different skills, jugglemonkey.
I should think there's room in a life for both those interests, keep it up man.
Maybe you will end up designing props/tricks/etc and be rich and buy us all a car to say thanks!

Good luck with it.

HEHE
funny you should mention that as it was my grandfather who got me intrested in conjouring as he used to make cabinets and larger effects for some years.

As from today i am a full member....HOOORAH

welcome jugglemonkey nice to have you here a set of flameing escape cuffs springs to mind for your first project.

it was my uncle that got me into magic which is close to a grandfarther.

ooo but u dont get an "uncle clock" do you?!? hehe

beg to differ my fine young friend, parts used to fix a clock taken from a grandfather clock are refered to as uncle parts therfore the new clock becomes an uncle clock.

on a diferent note jungle could the morocan wrist restraint be aplied to a kids act where your secured yet are able to position and help the specs ie in a quick release manner

Wow...You learn something new every day!

Yes indeed it can, its ridiculously easy to get in/out of.

cheers any chance of a link to a site that sells them, i used to use a set that consisted os a large oval shaped rig and short chains with locks but i found them to be a bit awkward in use.

ok heres a link

I think the price is more than i payed for it as i got it mail order. Il have a look through the collection of catalogues on in my file tomorow and il let you know. Got a feeling it was "magic by post"

Ben

yes they would be perfect, the in and out cuffs on this page are similar to what i was useing and i also had a set of master escape cuffs but they were erm borrowed by an ex girlfriend and never returned her new boyfriend aperently never new
