A classic Halloween special, when the Fox network was just a baby!

The description is a little misleading, because if you pay attention to what was said... not only has nobody gotten out of those cuffs since Houdini... nobody has gotten IN to those cuffs (thats what the man said). So he was the first person to get into the cuffs since Houdini, and he's gotten out of it... not as impressive. Still impressive overall... but not as impressive as the description of this video makes it sound. You said nobody else can get out of them... nobody else got in them.
