@@MagicofAlexo It was very difficult to do. But it was very cool because you did not need anything to escape, like rope ties, a straightjacket, most of the time from locks and chains because ppl can be directed, and they do not know what they are doing and thumbcuffs. I also had an old steamship trunk and if I slapped the inside the lock would pop open on the outside, again nothing was needed to escape. You gave me a fantastic idea....thanks. Maybe I will do it in 2026 the 100th anniversary of Houdini`s passing. BTW I bet they will need to block off the road in Queens on Halloween that year.
I escaped from those cuffs using the striking method and it is painful. But it can work.
I guess it depends on the condition of the cuffs
