Volume 2- This volume focuses on strait jacket escapes\uff0c both standing and suspended\uff0c and covers other restraint devices such as Shanghai Shackles and the Kellar Rope Tie.

Testimonials
“I went in to an audition for an upcoming variety show in Las Vegas. Now\uff0c Las Vegas is flooded with Magicians. We probably have more magicians per capita than any city in the world. So I brought all my props in\uff0c and one of the things I had thrown in was a straight jacket. When I walked in they saw all my toys and immediately told me they “didn’t need a magician”. I smiled and quickly replied\uff0c”great\uff0c I’m an escape artist.”<\/p>\n
They said “OK” with some hesitation.I got up on stage\uff0c did a straight jacket escape\uff0c and walked out with a contract.<\/p>\n
A week later\uff0c one of the arenas here in Vegas contacted me wanting a half time show for a major college basketball game. Needless to say\uff0c the angles we impossible. And everything I had that was angle-proof wouldn’t play for 20\uff0c000 seats.The solution was simple\uff0c they strapped me by my feet\uff0c hoisted me up and I did an upside down straight jacket escape.Now I do it three times a week.<\/p>\n
I now book 3-1 doing escapes rather than magic.” –Tyas Frantz\uff0c Full Time Las Vegas Performer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
