Escapology Gear

I need help finding items such as a straight jacket and Smith and Wesson handcuffs. I need them for an up coming gig.

Thanks,
Ian The Magic-Ian

Not really that hard.

Google be thy friend.

Search for Cannons Great Escapes and Performance Jackets and Handcuff Wharehouse.

If you gig is soon... I would either cancel it or leave out the escapes.
Escapes rely, even more, on presentaton than magic. Plus it takes alot of practice and skill for just the escapes.

Why do so many people wait till the last second? And if you couldnt simply find these items on your own... it worries me.

But good luck, either way.

On a side note; a good friend of mine, whos name is Ian, is a well known escape artist.

Pardon me for being so brash... but have you ever done an escape?

This isn't something you can just read a book on and then do. Nor is it a bunch of tricks & whistles such as you find in a magic shop.

I need to practice somehow so I can get better. I just asked a question and my gig already passed I didn't buy large escapes because I know I need more practice. I just need a highly recommended store where I can get quality escape gear.
