Never see the entertainment content in slipping cuffs. Most of the Friday night drunks do this regular anyway.
Guess a female could slip most cuffs with no problems.

Put a different slant on it (Contortion, breaking the pain barrier or mind over matter!!) Then maybe it would have its uses.

The exception to this rule would be Steve Bakers stock slipping etc but this was a challenge and the props unusual enough to make it in Steves hands very entertaining, but we can`t all be Steve Baker`s now can we.

Yeah, it depends on your persona/presentation.
Since I perform ala a yogi/fakir, cuff slipping is right in line.

Hi, at a certain size, there is a circumference which a hand will not pass thru for each person. So if someone can slip a hand, my first reaction is that the selected cuff or size it is adjusted to allows it to be sliped. Not much mystery in that.

I agree.
It is amazing, though, how many lay people do not think of something so obvious, preferring to believe that escape artists are 'double jointed.'

Hi Steve and happy New year to you. I agree with you on that point to. It does look interesting when someone contorts there face and you can see their hand closing tight. More like watching someone in pain and being glad it's not myself, but still nothing clever or mysterious. I perfer things that make me think, 'wow, how the heck did he do that?"
