Hello Guys, can you help me out?
I'm new in escapology.. I need to know where I can start and what thing should I do for this escapology? What is the best book or video lectures for escapology?

The escape tricks I mastered is a Rope Escape performed by Dean Gunnarson on his show in Greatest Magic of Las Vegas and Thumbcuffs escape
Thanks for your attention!

In the end you can read all the books and watch all the videos, but the only way to get the experience is to do it.

First I would suggest you decide what you want to do (cuffs, straight jacket, chain escape etc) then go and buy what you need.

Once you've got the kit, it's really a case of working out how to escape.

When you're confident with an escape, then you can work out a routine, which is sometimes more work than learning the escape itself.

I think that having a smooth routine makes the difference between the escape being a success or not (you can do a great escape, but if you put the audience off, in a way you've lost the war!)

That's my two cents worth, anyhow. Enjoy your escapology!

James.
