Secrets of the great mysteries now revealed for the first time : handcuffs, iron box, iron bottle, iron boiler, coffin, rope chair, mail bag, band box, tramp chair, glass case, paper bag, packing case, straight jacket : a complete guide and reliable authority on all tricks. Full explanation of how the various tricks are performed, with diagrams and illustrations
A 1909 escape-trick manual self-published in Boston by the stage magician Oudini, explaining handcuff, packing-case, straight-jacket and glass-case escapes for working performers and amateurs. Pen drawings isolate restraint hardware — shackles, chains, swivels, nippers, box hinges and latches — as clean outlined objects with hatched shading, useful as line-art props, diagram spot art, or hands-with-tools vignettes.
