I am pleased to announce the first article to be published in the Journal of Handcuffs.Org.

Our good friend Johan Ahlberg has written a fascinating story about Houdini's visit to Copenhagen. Where 98 years ago on July 16, 1913?

The Journal of Handcuffs.Org is the successor to the Handcuff Annuals. It will be similar in concept, but with an different execution. Articles will be published at any time on the web at Handcuffs.Org. They will appear in two formats, a web version and a pdf version. The pdf versions will look like the old Handcuff Annuals. Anyone will be able to print their own copy. Once I gather enough pages of published articles, say 100-120 pages, I will call a volume complete and then I will have a limited number of actual physical books printed. So the goal eventually will be to have three versions of each article, on the web, as a pdf and finally as a printed document.

Contributions to the Journal of Handcuffs.Org are welcome. In few days I will post detailed instructions on how you can submit your own material. As things come in I am going to sent them out to others members of the community for a peer review. I hope this new endeavor will be a major addition not just to my website, but to the hobby as a whole.

I want to give special thanks to Johan for being my first participant and author.

Nils and Joe

thank you for your kind words. I hope the article will have any historic interest since this material never have been published.

Still the legend about HOUDINI, the master mystifier, lives on in Denmark!

Information that hasn't been in any book. Great work.
Have you detected any gaffs--the wrist and neck cuffs don't look too challenging.
The hands ought to be able to slip out. Anything about the hinge on the neck collar, and was that lock on that piece? Spirit Lock?
And thank you for the wonderful photos. And introducing me to Truxa.
If you have detected any gaffs and would discuss them, could you email me? pkcull@aol.com
