Welcome Mandy, you're second lady to have joined the TM community in as many days ... must be somthing in thair! (maybe that pheromone spray is starting to work).
With regards to the escipology, have a look for the name Dixie Dooley, he's about as good as escapology gets... now, when you talk about interesting things to do with a stright jacket, my first thougts are that you should;
1. Be Upside down,
2. REEEALY high up off the floor!
3. Blind folded
4. On Fire!
5. No Safety Net!
6. In a hurricane!
that would make for a truley excelent show!
Seriously though, dont try that, i dont want to be responsible for the envitable death of another magician.
But Dixie Dooley is definatly the man too look up.
