A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting Fred Pittella and received a grand tour of his tremendous collection of restraints, Houdiniana and escapology equipment. Fred's collection is not only extraordinarily impressive on its own; it is displayed in an absolutely first class museum quality manner.
I have posted pictures of my visit and an interview with Fred on the web at:

Take a look. Fred's collection is absolutely marvelous.

I want to thank Fred very much for being such a good friend, for welcoming me into his home, and for sharing his treasures with me.

Thanks Fred.

Such a wonderful collection and extremely nice displayed. When looking at Fred's collection I consider start playing golf (which I hate) and finish collecting restraint

Many thanks to Fred and Joe for letting us see such a nice collection.

Regards,

It's a real pleasure knowing Fred, and spending time with him whenever he vists Los Angeles - discussing our favorite subjects: Houdini, Handcuffs, Locks, and Magic! He's been a good friend, and I'm glad to see his terrific collection featured on this site.

That was a very nice write-up. I have had the pleasure and priveledge to have met Fred and spend some time talking about our common interests. I was not aware that he was so connected to some of the magicians mentioned in the article. I guess we just need to hang out some more! Congratulations Fred! A first class write-up of a first class collection of a first class guy!
I am glad to see more of the positive features like these interviews on this web-site.
Hope to see all of you in Indy.
