The following pages include many different types of handcuffs, leg irons
and neck collars, etc. Most are available both gimmicked and non-gimmicked.
Also, you will find that most of these fetters require very different keys.
Within these pages lie the very heart of a modern handcuff challenge act. In
order to be able to accept challenges, the modern escapologist must first
have both a working knowledge, as well as WORKING KEYS to escape from these
handcuffs. Note: several of these handcuffs are available with variations.
As an example, the Darby’s are available with a bar separating the cuffs,
instead of chain and most S&W’s can be ordered in both the standard
“satin finish” as well as “blue steel”. Enjoy...

GERMAN CLEJUSO HEAVYWEIGHT HANDCUFFS WITH ANCHOR
Just like the Clejuso heavy weight, except rather than two cuffs, it is outfitted
with one cuff and one locking “anchor”, so you can lock it to an object such as a
chair, metal eye, etc. The anchor uses the same key as the cuff. Limited only by your
imagination.

GERMAN CLEJUSO HEAVYWEIGHT HANDCUFFS
Probably the largest handcuff in the world today, these beauties weigh in
at just over 3 LBS. AND ARE 1 1/2”THICK! The bottom photo shows a comparison with Smith &
Wesson handcuffs (not included). Available standard or gimmicked for quick release!
- Please specify standard or quick release.

GERMAN CLEJUSO MIDWEIGHT HANDCUFFS

lbs., and are 7/8" thick. Available standard or gimmicked for quick release!

GERMAN CLEJUSO LEG IRONS
The mate to the handcuffs listed above. They, too, double lock. An
interesting note is that they take a different key than the handcuffs. Very
hefty and impressive in appearance.

 |
GERMAN CLEJUSO MODEL 11 HANDCUFF
This handcuff is the popular patrolman model, and works with a barrel
type key. The double lock system is thumb activated. Like most everything
Clejuso makes, they are larger than their American counterparts.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
GERMAN CLEJUSO MODEL 19 HINGED HANDCUFF
Similar to the model 11, but these are hinged in the center with a single
piece of very thick steel. They too operate with a barrel key and feature a
thumb activated double lock. This little manacle is not seen very often out
there. It definitely has a "different" look.

 |
 |
 |
GERMAN CLEJUSO PIN TUMBLER CHAIN LINK HANDCUFF
Brand new in 2000, this is a MASSIVE handcuff that utilizes a PIN TUMBLER
lock system. Like most other Clejuso shackles, these are more than twice the
size and weight of most other modern cuffs in the world. Very impressive
indeed. We have a hard time keeping these on the shelf.

Please specify standard or
inspectable/gimmicked.

GERMAN CLEJUSO PIN TUMBLER HINGED VERSION HANDCUFF
Same as the chain link Clejuso listed above, except for the very heavy
duty hinge between the cuffs. It too, features the new pin tumbler system.
Because of their size, they are perfect for high visibility from the very
last row of seats in the theater.
Please specify standard or
inspectable/gimmicked.

GERMAN CLEJUSO PIN TUMBLER LEG IRONS
These heavy duty leg irons will complete your set of the new Clejuso pin
tumbler shackles. They are very large, and will definitely make an
impression with your audience. They have that "maximum security"
look because of the modern locking system.
Please specify standard or
inspectable/gimmicked.

NEW STYLE GERMAN CLEJUSO COME ALONG (NIPPER)
Not exactly politically correct! While not a handcuff, German police still use these
to quickly “nip” a person’s wrist. Then, after clamping them shut, the squeezing action
of the claws “encourages” the subject to “come along”. This is the new
version, with a flattened handle and slightly more rounded claw. An
interesting addition to your handcuff collection.

PAKISTAN "SHEFFIELD PATTERN"
HANDCUFF/LEG IRON COMBO
Here are the Sheffield Pattern restraints described below, now available as
a combination, with a connecting chain and swivel to match the handcuff and
leg iron. This set comes with a total of 2 keys.

PAKISTAN "SHEFFIELD PATTERN" HANDCUFFS
Long out of production, the Sheffield Pattern Darby handcuff has long been a highly sought-after manacle. It is notably different from all other Darbies, because the key has EXTERNAL THREADS, instead of the more common internal ones found on all other models. Now, for the first time in close to a century, you can own a pair of Darbies
that feature this unusual design. These handcuffs were recently produced in
Pakistan. Unlike other cuffs from that region, these are made with a much
higher quality than some others that we have all seen. First of all, the edges
are smooth--not "crude". Secondly, you will notice that they feature a nice
nickel-plating, instead of the faux rust. Lastly, a look at the end caps of
the lock case shows that they have been nicely finished, instead of the more
common "peen marks" seen on other lesser quality shackles. Comes with one key.
Now with a new LOWER PRICE! A fantastic value!

PAKISTAN "SHEFFIELD PATTERN"
LEG IRONS
A perfect companion to the "Sheffield Pattern" handcuffs. Recently produced in Pakistan, these too, require the unique-in-the-world EXTERNALLY THREADED KEY, instead of the more common internal ones found on all other Darby models. However, the leg iron key and the handcuff key are NOT inter-changeable. It is unknown if the original Sheffield Pattern was ever featured for leg irons, so these may be even more distinctive in the world of restraints.
Comes with one key.
Now with a new LOWER PRICE! A fantastic value!

TRI LOCK HANDCUFFS
One of the more unique cuffs made in the modern era. They utilize a
triple lock mechanism and are made from a tough Polymer composite material,
as well as stainless steel. Additionally, the blue colored wrist pads on the
inside of the bows are removable. VERY UNIQUE! Subject to
availability.
- Also available in CABLE, HINGED, CHAIN AND WEBBED VERSION.
Discontinued! |

HIATT TRI HINGE HANDCUFFS
These are hinged, but with extensions that make them very wide. Typically, they
would be used for a large prisoner, who might have a hard time placing his wrists
together behind his back. But however you may chose to use them, they are very easy
to see from long distances and thus very "showy". You will like these.
Note: The British Government has passed legislation making
handcuffs, leg irons and restraints that exceed 7.6 cm in length overall
illegal. That means that these cuffs are no longer manufactured and
very hard to find.
Discontinued!

HIATT WAFER MAXIMUM SECURITY HANDCUFFS (HSS9)
These handcuffs have the BEST OF THREE WORLDS! First, they have a hinge,
rather than the standard chain. Second, they have a lever lock that uses a
standard barrel key, but lastly, they have a WAFER LOCK, which
requires a SEPARATE KEY! Of course, both types of keys are included. Quite a
challenge for the serious escape artist.

SECRET CAVITY CUFF*
A Burrell creation ©
This handcuff CONTAINS A SECRET "WEAPON"! Namely, it has a secret
compartment for housing handcuff keys, other tools, etc. The special
"cavity" is so well hidden it will defy discovery during examination.
After all, the rest of the cuff is not gimmicked, so it seems legitimate.
Imagine the P.R.-escape-stunt possibilities: You are thoroughly
examined for keys, picks, etc., and found "clean". You are then locked
into several cuffs (one of them of course is the Secret Cavity Cuff!), leg
irons, etc., and perhaps even put into a jail cell. You quickly escape
because you can unlock all of the above since you have the keys hidden
inside this one cuff! A terrific utilitarian escape device.
*This handcuff is no longer manufactured, therefore
the cuffs offered are reconditioned, ex-police models.

PLEXIGLAS™ THUMB STOCK ESCAPE
A WONDERFUL MODERN TWIST TO A CLASSIC! Similar to the wooden thumb
stocks below: A very neat looking pair of TRANSPARENT PLEXIGLASÔ
THUMB STOCKS are exhibited. They are even passed out for examination. If
placed onto a volunteer's thumbs, he cannot escape. The top section is
removed from the bottom. The escape artist then places his thumbs on top of
the bottom half, and the top half is then tightly bolted on with two bolts
and wing nuts. IMMEDIATELY the fun begins, as the performer's FREE hand
re-adjusts his glasses, waves to the audience, etc. Just as quickly he shows
his thumbs to be back inside the thumb stocks! Also, penetration effects,
such as passing the stocked thumbs through the mike stand, catching hoops,
etc., are possible.
This is a really novel approach to the Thumb Stocks/Cuff routine. All
appears so fair(?) because the audience and see THROUGH the device! Will
fit most average sized thumbs, but comes with instructions to adjust them if
needed. Manufactured by Jay Leslie.

HARDWOOD THUMB STOCK ESCAPE
A beautiful wooden thumb stock is exhibited. They are even passed out for examination. If placed onto a volunteer's thumbs, he cannot escape. The top section is removed from the bottom. The escape artist then places his thumbs on top of the bottom half, and the top half is then tightly bolted on with two bolts and wing nuts. IMMEDIATELY the fun begins, as the performer's FREE hand re-adjusts his glasses, waves to the audience, etc. Just as quickly he shows his thumbs to be back inside the thumb stocks! Also, penetration effects, such as passing the stocked thumbs through the mike stand, catching hoops, etc., are possible.
You will be proud to own this little beauty, made of exotic stained hardwood. They are all hand-sanded with chamfered edges. Will fit most average sized thumbs, but comes with instructions if you need to make them larger or smaller.

OLD ENGLISH WRIST STOCKS
We are so happy to be able to add this mechanical marvel to our escape
product line! Here's the presentation: Your wrists are locked
between two "Old English" wooden stocks. In addition to the snap
catch, two BORROWED padlocks are passed through the two holes of the wooden
extension made for that purpose. This locks the top stock to the
bottom stock. They can try and pull the two stocks apart, but they
won't budge. A cloth is now draped over your locked wrists and stocks.
The two spectators hold onto two small pieces of twine that are secured to
the sides of the stocks to help restrain you. Yet, almost immediately
you not only escape, but upon removing the cloth, the stocks are seen to be
still locked! This wonderful wooden item is handcrafted by Jay Leslie.

THUMBCUFFS
Legitimate modern thumbcuffs, like the type used by undercover officers.
Here is the best part: even though they are entirely ungaffed, with the
enclosed instructions you will be able to INSTANTLY ESCAPE! And then you can
immediately reinsert your thumbs and be “locked-in” again. Yet, when
placed on someone else, they cannot remove them. Great for a stand-up comedy
routine.

QUICK RELEASE THUMBCUFFS
Created by Ian McColl, and manufactured from Laser-cut stainless steel,
these thumbcuffs are specially gaffed to allow the performer to quickly open
the bows to escape. The perfect answer for those with "knobby" thumbs
that are too big to perform with the genuine article listed above.

RUSSIAN THUMBCUFFS
Legitimate modern RUSSIAN thumbcuffs! These babies are much larger
than standard modern thumbcuffs, and therefore can be seen by a larger
audience. Slightly crude in their construction, they certainly
look "meaner" than most. Yet, just like other standard cuffs, you can
escape from them instantly (even though they are entirely ungaffed).
Escape instructions are
enclosed. Yes, you can
then immediately reinsert your thumbs and be “locked-in” again. Yet, when
placed on someone else, they cannot remove them. Great for a stand-up comedy
routine. Limited supply. Get them while they last.

QUICK RELEASE CHAIN HANDCUFFS
Beautifully nickel plated, these cuffs are perfect for instant escape AND
reinsertion of the wrists. Because of the quick “in-again, out-again”
feature of these cuffs, they are commonly used for a comedy routine, even
ending up with two spectators locked together! These are also commonly used
for underwater escapes. Complete with padlocks.

SPANISH “VIROLA” STYLE HANDCUFFS
These cuffs are very unusual in that rather than the normal chain or hinge that
other shackles use to connect the cuffs, they have a device called a “Virola”.
Virola means “hoop” in Spanish. It is a cylindrical contraption that pivots as well
as operates as a hinge. If you are looking for a unique look, this is it.
- Please specify standard or black oxide finish.

INSPECTABLE
LEATHER AND POLY RESTRAINTS
A Mark Cannon creation ©2007
A pair of lockable, hospital Leather & Poly Wrist Restraints connected by
a lockable Poly belt are shown to the audience. It is demonstrated how
once the entire restraint system is locked it can only be opened with the
key. The escape artist then unlocks them with the key, and the keys are then handed
to the spectator. The spectator then locks them on the escape artist's wrists and
waist, and tests all three locks and is satisfied that they are truly
locked. The escapist then escapes! Also available standard (not gimmicked).
- Please specify standard or gimmicked.

THE "GRIP" LOCKING WEBBED BELT
RESTRAINT
Here's a whole new device for securing wrists. A black, nylon
webbed belt (1 3/4" wide) is placed around the prisoner's wrists, and
LOCKED into place via a steel locking mechanism that utilizes a standard
handcuff key. That same webbed belt also forms the "chain" between the
two wrists. Can also be used on ankles. These are also perfect
for securing to a hospital gurney, etc. If you are searching for a
different, "modern" look, this is it.

PROFESSIONAL SIBERIAN CHAIN ESCAPE—HEAVY DUTY STAINLESS STEEL
NOT THE SMALL WIMPY ONE YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ELSEWHERE! This is a very professional
unit that you will be proud to use. It is a MASSIVE chain, over three feet long,
using 1 1/2” LINKS! With the included Master padlock, it weighs
approximately 2 pounds. The shiny stainless steel chain looks wonderful on
stage. Each link is smooth--no rough welds to cut your arms. The rings are
welded closed; not
just left “split”. Effect: The performer’s wrists are securely wrapped and padlocked
by a spectator, yet the magician IMMEDIATELY escapes! Nothing is gimmicked, so all
may be examined. Some performers even use this to do a comedy "In
Again/Out Again" escape.
