[HOUDINI]. Gaffed Darby Handcuffs. An apparently innocent pair of handcuffs that, with sufficient force, can be opened for quick escape. Said to be the property of Harry Houdini; previously owned by Keith Clark, who purchased a quantity of Houdini cuffs which were later integrated into the CMS (Circus Museum of Sarasota) collection. The cuffs retain the CMS hand-painted inventory number inside one cuff.
