Deals From The Dark Side debuts with Houdini Handcuffs episode

Steve Santini gets the rare chance to purchase Victorian handcuffs said to have been used by his idol, Harry Houdini. Santini’s efforts to authenticate the cuffs include a visit to Scranton, PA to hook up with some quirky Houdini experts and a pit stop at Houdini’s grave in Queens, New York.

The handcuffs featured in this episode actually sold on eBay in April for $3,800.

Thanks to the gang at the Houdini Museum (who are featured in this episode) for the tip.
