ESCAPE ARTIST (Gimmicks and Instructions) by Apprentice Magic – Trick

The Trick that made HOUDINI famous!

EFFECT:

When you think of escaping from chains, the first name that comes to mind is Harry Houdini. The Escape Artist is the perfect beginner’s escape trick!

You show your audience a solid steel chain, along with a padlock and key. Then, you ask a volunteer to bind your wrists together with the chain and lock it securely. It seems impossible to escape from the chains that bind you… but just like Houdini, you magically free yourself in an instant!

This trick is recommended for beginners aged 13 and up.
