A new item in my collection, these lovely Hiatt’s handcuffs! They are from 1960, or maybe the model is called 1960, I don’t know. I will have to look it up! The key is very strange, but that’s good, because I have too many cuffs which open with the universal key (that’s not good for escape challenges, different keys are much more fun!). I made a video and some pictures to show you my new cuffs. As it happens I found an article about handcuffs, which I will read while cuffed in these new restraints.

Whoohoo, I have now 2 pairs of Speedcuffs! Well, one pair isn’t from Hiatts, but they’re very similar! I challenged my friend Leley to a Speedcuffs battle. First we cuffed ourselves in front and we unlocked each other, just to show her how they work. Then we cuffed ourselves behind our back and tried to get out as fast as we could. Amazingly, Leley got lucky and she won. Instead of helping me, she grabbed my key and started teasing me! When I was finally released I got another bright idea: I tried cuffing Leley’s elbows together behind her back! It actually worked, and she was so helpless! Even with the key! I wanted to try it immediately, but unfortunately my elbows don’t come close enough behind my back to use the speedcuffs, so Leley cuffed my wrist to my elbow… I have to get practising to get my elbows together though! Does anyone know any good exercises for that?
