In a very mad moment - don't ask me why - I purchased a pair of thumbcuffs, thinking that it was an 'escape' item that I could carry about in my pocket for ad hoc magic moments! I got the thumbcuffs and, for the life of me, I cannot think of any circumstances when they could be used and how they could possibly fool anyone.
The cuffs have a double lock on the front of them which somehow gives away the idea that a key may be involved. So, without mentioning the 'secret' of unlocking them, can anyone tell me how they can be used? Or should I just throw them to the back of the magic cupboard?

They can be used as a great way to prove you can't manipulate a deck or an object under cover - i.e. lock your thumbs and sleights seem impossible!!!

how about ring of arms

or have your hands sorry thumbs locked behind your back by two audience members then do the reposisiong gag.

or have two rings one on each arm behind back then come to front with each ring locklinked tougether.
