Houdini Chains

The magician asks a spectator to inspect a chain and then locks up his wrists to prove that it is impossible to get free. Next the spectator locks up the magicians wrists with the chain and with a padlock. The magician is undoubtedly tied up very firmly and tightly. Now the magician turns his back for a moment. When he turns around again he is completely free from the chains!
 
• The chain is 55cm (21,6”) long.
• Presented well, the effect has a high impact and is very easy to do.
• The chain and the padlock (supplied) are completely examinable.
