Houdini shines in this book. Handcuffs are his passion. He knows every little detail about them and every nuance in their mechanism. Houdini was not a particular good magician, but as an escape artist he is still unsurpassed. Thus, if you would like to know more about handcuffs and their inner workings, this book is for you.
1st edition, 1909, George Routledge & Sons, London; later reprinted by Magico Magazine, New York; 110 pages.
