Straitjacket Escape

Straitjacket Escape is the act of getting out from a straightjacket. It created by Houdini in 1896. His brother Hardeen also performed it.

Originally performed while standing, then later done while suspended up-side down in mid-air from the side of a tall building or from a crane.

Other performers to include this were Harry Jansen, Dunninger, and James Randi. Mardoni in the 1930s, did it from an airplane in flight.
