Hi all

Can any UK escape artists point me in the right direction for buying equipment, books and videos in the UK? I am interested in suppliers of ungimmicked equipment as well as stuff intended for use by escapologists.

Ta in advance

Duncan

Hi

I've faced this same problem - I can't find much in the way of suitable restraints. I considered contacting a mental hospital near by (I'm in Scotland) but haven't got round to it.

Some restraints things can be bought from UK magic dealers - I think www.magicworld.co.uk has some stuff.

Let me know how you get on as I'm keen to do some straight-jacket work in the near future.

Cheers

ML

It would be great if it wasn't so hard to get stuff sent over! I am not refering to cannons here BTW. I made a purchase recently and they were fantastic. However, after postage and the import taxes things ending up costing rather a lot. Not their fault at all, just the way things are.

I have bought stuff from them before however, there is a problem. The escape supplies they are selling are now no longer available due to the death of David De Val who was responsible for producing the equipment they sold. What we need is a supplier who is importing the kind of equipment sold by Cannons.

Have fun
