When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

two hour houdini show on cable

I watched part of the first hour of this, didn't really learn much, they were auctioning his mementos, they got $13,000 for a straightjacket, and 14,000 for a collection of keys and picks, then someone paid 35,000 for a milk can with the padlock hasps tricked to open. (not the lock, the thing you hang the lock on, the hasp) I quit watching when it became clear they were never going to show the locks close up only flashing them for two seconds from a distance. did anyone watch the whole thing, (two hours) I couldn't because I don't like to be teased.

I only got to watch the first hour of it on the History Channel. My wife asked what that has to do with history? ( I said, Because he's dead. = History. ) Then I had to switch channels so she could watch Monday Night Football. I didn't have a problem with that, It seemed they really didn't want you to know about Houdini's gear, They just wanted you to patronize the companies that ran commercials during the show.

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

I do watch football. But I just can't handle John Madden as an announcer.

You mean that fella thats talks & appears to know what 'tough' is, but cannot stand up to his own fears of flying in an airplane?

Yeah, Madden is a bit too much for me.
I can understand being scared, but puhlease dont turn around and preach gospil on toughness. Now, as for that Mexican woman who performed a self-cesarean birth of her child with a kitchen knife, I'll take a lecture or two on how to be tough from her anyday. (For the Brits, the same for Mr. Joe Simpson - He knows a thing or two about the rough side of things.)
