Strait Jacket - Viking - (UK Exlusive)
I
am very proud to be able to offer this jacket from Viking Mfg. Which I
believe to be the very best comercially available escape strait jacket
on the market today! - M
Ever
since Houdini made the Strait Jacket escape famous, it has been a success
where ever performed. This Strait Jacket is made of soft cotton canvas
with leather-like trim and 100% leather belting which gives it an air
of authenticity and makes it appear the formidable challenge that it is.
It has been engineered to allow the magician-escape artist flexibility
and ease, yet, it appears to present an impossible task. They
are rugged and will give years of service. This is one escape everybody
likes to see. Packs small and plays big. And as usual, you receive Viking's
guarantee of quality at a reasonable price. A Sensational
crown-pulling effect which can be carried in a brief case! Ideal for upside-down
Escapes, Galas and Stage use. The Strait Jacket Escape has been the feature
of many famous Escapologist -Houdini *Murray *Alan Alan *Shahid Malik
*Howard Peters *David Deval and many others.
Available in several sizes... Please state you chest size when ordering... (If an appropriate size is not in stock it can be ordered specially for you. You will of course be notifiued if this is the case)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Color
now comes in a very nice, dark, olive green similar to the original Houdini
straight jacket.
Price: £190
A
classic escape routine. The performer is locked in a large examined "mailbag"
from which he magically escapes. The bag can be thoroughly examined before
and after performance. It is a canvas bag, with metal grommets on top.
A solid examined steel bar is passed through these grommets, with padlocks
on both ends of the bar. This is a very effective escape act that may
be presented as a complete act or embellished with additional escape props.
For example: Performer could be handcuffed and then placed in the bag
and escape from both bag and handcuffs. Or the bag could be used in-conjunction
with a Substitution trunk, with performer's assistant being handcuffed
and locked in bag and then the trunk. Performer standing on trunk changes
places with the assistant in the twinkling of an eye. This comes complete!
The apparatus supplied comprises of… A large size canvas bag with
grommets on top. A solid "steel" bar (actually plated brass
for long rust-free life) with holes for padlocks at the ends. A pair of
large padlocks with keys. (Although you can use any padlocks or have them
borrowed). A reputation builder…
Price: £80
Electronic Release (superior model) - (UK Exlusive)
A
ferocious looking volunteer is chosen and handed a steel shackle with
four chains welded onto it. After close examination the performer is secured
into the device by the afore mentioned volunteer. (By the way it's the
shackles that are closely examined, Not the performer ! But then again
it depends upon your audience I suppose…..) He does this utilizing
any two padlocks (which are not supplied as you may use any padlocks,
even borrow them if you wish.) After several members of the audience have
checked that the performer is thoroughly secured, he can and does of course
make his miraculous escape. OR…You can present it in comedy style
where you appear to escape by removing one hand and when you turn around
you are still securely chained. You can at anytime remove either hand
and replace it immediately. Great prop takes up no room in the case but
plays BIG. Great accessory for Sub Trunk and other such Illusions.
Do not confuse this with the cheaper model found elswhere, this is the superiour model made from thick sturdy steel (Chrome plated) and a much more compact design!
