Could this actually work?
A similar trick is used by emergency room staff to remove tight rings from peoples' fingers with dental floss

#2That is an interesting video and an interesting concept. I could see it working for some people, but i just tried it and it did not work for me. I couldnt get the cuff past the bones at the base of my thumb. It came close, but without somehow compressing the width right at that point, its not going to come off. I would be interested to see if anyone else has success trying it. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

IMO - That's not "real world" practical....Those cuffs were on her wrists way too loosely to begin with.
......It seems she just wants to be an instant "Youtube star".
Same with this video, below. Those are LEGIRONS on the fireman's hands...What idiot would ever restrain someone's WRISTS with LEGIRONS, in the first place?
Its just another Youtube "show-off instructional video" - that isn't practical.
That may actually be something taught firemen at the academy, I have seen numerous videos of POLICE abusing and restraining FIREMEN for no other reason than a battle of egos

here's the answer
a sock is not going to give, bend, or warp the handcuff by any means.. this includes the cheek plate, the pawl, the bow, and the rivets.. none of them are going to succumb to a piece of fabric
at best the sock will insulate your skin and compress your skin more comfortably allowing you to more easily and less painfully capitalize on any negative space that exists between your hands and the inside circumference of the handcuff
and that would be a consequence of the handcuff not being secure enough in the first place.. and if you do have a pair of handcuffs where a sock can manipulate the structural integrity of the handcuff.. they probably belong in the toy aisle of your favorite retailer
