Roslyn--I agree with you, in principle, about the Posey, but for me, the differences aren't worth paying an additional $200.

Had many types over the years and found buckles over rollers better for me. The main fault is with the stitching giving out so every SJ I get goes to the Tannery for a double stitch job.

Many of the rivets rust in the end so rivetless is prefered by me,,,gimmed or not does not matter to the audience or me. Best SJ from a magic dealer,,,maybe Viking,,,couldnt get on with the Davenport (Bulk and miscolour when wet).

The finest SJ that I have ever used was made for a one off gig in Saudi,,,Made by Ian to measure,,,,steel strait jacket with a three quarter inch locking pole fastened at the back,,,,used a lot and it made big bucks.

Where would I find the humane restraint? Approximate price?

Wow! That link has such wonderful toys! Thanks, Steve!

And good prices (In my opinion, but I may not know of others stores/sites). I've placed one order with them and they did a good job.
