Hi,
I know this will sound stupid at first, like many of the things I think of. I want to be handcuffed and under some cover try to escape. But instead I manage to get tied up with a whole length of chain around my body. What do you think of this? Do you know of any possible way to do this, quickly and with only one hand free? Thanks a lot Ivan
Yours,
Ivan |

Wow, sounds like there's some possibilities there. Although, I'm worried about answering, yes, there's several ways, first have the chain padlocked and just loop it around your body so it looks like your
"well" chained, second why only one hand? I don't know if X-Treem still makes them, but I know Santini and X-treem both have padlocks that conceal STUFF! Sorry it's an open forum, pm me for more, or check http://www.strictlyunderground.com ! |

Hi Ivan,
I've thought a bit about this, in theory you could use an item to cover your full body, such as a mail bag or plastic leaf bag, have the chain (25, 50, 75 ft etc) coiled in such a fashion that it would look like the number 8 but each loop is set on top of the other so you have a nice O shaped coil (do you follow?) padlock it and place the chain at the bottom of the bag. With the bag on stage (or what have you) you are handcuffed, step into the bag and right into the center of the coiled chain, the bag is brought over your head and closed off. With one hand free you should be able to reach down grab the top coil of chain and pull it up, the chain should accordian around your body and if you rest the top coil around your shoulders it should look like you are chained. Now I've never tried this but in my mental theory it might work. If you don't understand, lemme know and I'll try to explain it better. Hope this helps. X

Hehe, Nice idea and as the routine goes on, the performer gets in even deeper and deeper, right? If so, I like it.

I would have to say, the longer the chain the harder it looks, when actually it is easier. Like ropes
