Escape Like Houdini!

Chain Shackle Escape Handcuffs

AKA - In and Out Chain Escape

By Empire Magic

An Impossible Magical Escape!

One of the Easiest, Fastest and Most Impressive of Handcuff Releases!
(Locks not included — use your own or borrow one for maximum impact)

The Chain Shackle Escape Handcuffs are one of the easiest, fastest, and most impressive handcuff release effects ever devised. Your wrists are secured by heavy-duty chains connected to a solid metal separating bar, making it seemingly impossible to bring your hands together to pick or tamper with the locks. Yet… in seconds, you’re free. 😏

This classic escape prop delivers big visual drama with minimal effort. Because no locks are included, you can use any padlock—even a borrowed one from the audience, which instantly boosts credibility and amazement. The chains, and separating bar can be examined before and after the escape.
