Houdini's handcuffs come out of their case

In honor of Houdini's (adopted) birthday today, The Houdini Museum of New York at Fantasma Magic allowed visitors to try on a pair of authentic Houdini's handcuffs. Our great friend Colleen Bak made the trip from Queens and got to wear the holy shackles (Bean Cobbs), as you can see from her Instagram pic below.

At the Houdini Museum locked in a pair of HH's handcuffs, oh yes....quite the day. I don't think my wrists will ever be the same again.
