My Strait Jacket

[William Draven]

This is a performance video on my adaptation of the classic strait jacket escape.

I would welcome opinions, or comments. This is still an experimental routine.

very, very entertaining!!

I liked the fact that you were entertaing them while putting the jacket by just taking to them...that is harder than the escape

btw "Trustful...I never done this before" I laughed so hard!!!

I liked it alot. It completely changed the focus of the straitjacket routine, Very original, very nice.

Clever. I liked it.

That was entertaining. Tweak it here and there but overall it was amazing. You're pretty quick out of the straight jacket too, for a legit escape it was phenomenal, speed without making it look too easy. (Just watching I'm assuming it was legit, don't let me down!)

I've been saving up to buy a straight jacket, hopefully have one soon so I can put it into a show I plan on having ready by summer (post-busy season at my real work).

Overall I loved it, great encore routine (even if it's a planned encore).

you said "earlier in the show we talked about trust" could you kinda elaborate on the rest of the show and how you built up the trust idea. and even how you built up trust with the audience. was that the closing effect?

regardless of anything, that was phenomenal

Oh sure. I'll even upload the video to youtube. It should be available in about 40 minutes.

I did a trust fall with that kid earlier, in where I fell backwards and I trusted him to catch me.

I explained that you HAVE to have trust to do my kind of act. Trust in your audience, trust in your co-workers, trust in your props, and trust in yourself.

To prove my trust in my act, I brought out my animal trap. I performed my animal trap routine (the kind that can be seen in the media section of this site) with a slight modification to revisit the "trust" concept off and on through the set.
