“Some reports say that only his left hand was handcuffed to a chain attached to a tree.”

Couldn’t reach the bolt cutters and didn’t have the guts to chew off the hand.

Houdini’s wife would show up on stage to pass him a better suited key or pick. Discreetly, of course, when he was doing the non-life-threatening handcuff or lock challenges.

Never, ever fire your agent so that he leaves before the trick is successful.

Why didn’t he take someone with him, who had the key to the handcuffs and could have freed him, if things went wrong, as they did.

I wonder if Doug Henning found Sandy Duncan’s eye behind her ear?

At the scene were five sets of handcuffs, three metal chains, six padlocks and a book on knots.

I think I see the problem.
