Chicago Model 1550MG Gimmicked Irish 8 Handcuffs by Handcuff Warehouse

These are a modern reproduction of the classic Irish 8 pattern handcuffs that date back to the 1800s. This example is a gimmicked version and works exceptionally well, making it ideal for escape demonstrations or display. I’ve always liked this style because it closely resembles the type of handcuffs associated with Houdini’s era. The distinctive figure-eight design is instantly recognizable and has become one of the most iconic restraint patterns in handcuff history. _EF Astound and amaze with the Chicago Model 1550MG handcuffs. These cuffs are heavy, fixed, metal cuffs in an Irish-8, but there is a trick. These handcuffs have no spring. Gravity alone locks them when turned the right way up, showing what appears to be a sturdy and firm restraint. With a simple flourish and a flip, the locking pin falls away and handcuffs open. Also includes two screw in keys.
