Zwangsjacken Entfesselung - The straitjacket escape

An audience member examines the jacket. Six belts are fastened behind your back. Your arms are crossed and belted together. The crotch strap is secured. You can't reach for the buckles. You can't move. They watch you twist and contort, struggling to free your self. In full view of the audience, you escape! The straight jacket does all the work for you but you get all the applause.   

Made famous by the great Harry Houdini, and seen performed on TV dozens of times.
