Mark Lyons O--O Cuffs
#1Happy New Year all,
It has been a long time since I have been here to post anything of interest.
The last pair of cuffs that were noteworthy was a pre model Marlin and I delved into as much info as I could on the subject.
Today I am seeking some help that is in an area that I am not as knowledgeable about and might be more suited for the escape artist talent which might still be gracing the pages here.
The Ian McColl problem, which is beyond crazy, made many readers in this site vanish for good.
I realize that our community has been greatly reduced, but if anyone is still around, please try and help me on this small project that I am working on. It is important as there may be a Houdini celebration upcoming and any help about these cuffs would be wonderful. Houdini's final vanishing act will have occurred 100 years ago, in 9 months from now.
More news about this will be announced later, but if things go to plan, a celebration is in order.
The above picture is from a display in a museum in Spain and have been identified as being Houdini owned cuffs and I would like to know if any of these designs were ever created during Houdini's era or when they may have been made and who could have made them.
I am only familiar with the middle version and would like to know who the first maker of these was and when. These cuffs are sold today in almost all magic shops.
The top one is basically the same but the curve in the middle is unusual.
The bottom cuff is a cool design but have never seen anything like these before. They are similar to the Swedish padlocking cuffs.
Please share any thoughts, photos or info that you can.
I will be posting similar requests on the other handcuff Facebook sites, since this forum has been so desecrated the last couple of years.
Thank you everybody!
All the best for a great New Year and anticipation of a Houdini Holiday!
