Please explain?
I'd like to see you get out of
these thumbcuffs when they're on as tight as possible.
Well bring 'em by and I'll be happy to show you.
Seriously though. In the magic world, there is a fairly well known (at least I think it's well known) escape from thumbcuffs. I don't care how tight you put them on.
I used to have a gag routine (I think I've even mentioned it here before) where I would have an audience member lock me up in shackels, thumbcuffs AND a Chinese Finger Trap. The gag was I would keep bringing my hand out from behind my back casually, in a gesture or such.
The routine required being able to get in and out of the whole mess pretty quick. Let met tell you that, believe it or not, that hard part of the routine was that stinkin' Chinese Finger Trap. Those are nasty!
