But MORE than just the “How-To,” step-by-step instructions of these escapes, Nathan also includes:

This video demonstrates alot of great escapes and I will be using them when I start performing again. I loved the style and presentation and Nathan professionalism in producing and performing this. Its a must for any performer in this genre. I highly suggest giving this a go. Great work Nathan.

Great information to have, even if never used. Report this review

About half of the length of is video is devoted to straight jackets. Something I personally am not, and physically could not get, into. But it is thorough and professional in all aspects of the subject. Nathan did a thumb cuff routine at my local magic club that re-piqued my interest in "tied thumbs." Thus my purchase. This video covers the gamut of ungimmicked restraints from a thumb cuff to a "bought from a local hardware store" (including great details so you know what to ask for when you go into the store) "Siberian Chain Escape." The entire video has great information to have parked in one's brain, even if it is never used. So it is an incredible value. And for those who may wonder, while Nathan is an "adult" performer, this video is for all ages -- or at least those old enough to use the information.

N.T.A. alone is worth the price of admission! Report this review

Great intro to escapes.
Nathan covers a fair number of basic escape principles, from the straight jacket to the thumbtie. There is plenty of useful information to get you started. While some things may need to be purchased there are enough escapes with inexpensive items (rope, and zip ties) that just about anyone can get started with a quick trip to the hardware store and a few bucks.
The stand out for me was the N.T.A. chain escape. Inexpensive to put together and very deceptive. If all you get out of this video is the N.T.A. then you have gotten your monies worth.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 15th, 2023
Okay so I just purchased this so these are my first thoughts. I have to say it's more than worth the price! Nathan's teaching is humorous, approachable and simultaneously serious. I really strongly recommend Ultimate Escapes 101. Nathan's take on the classic chain escape is unique and his extra tips on selling the escape are super strong. As a full time educator and part-time magician I'm enjoying this.

A Great Intro to Escapes Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 12th, 2023
Mr. Allen provides us with a primer on practical methods for escaping from various examinable restraints. His instructions are clear and practical. Perfect for people new to escapes and helpful for more experienced performers to have all these different basic escape methods collected in one place. The highlights are his detailed and experienced insights on the straight jacket escape and his variation on the Siberian Chain Escape which gives new life to this old idea.

Great instruction on A LOT of material Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 9th, 2023
This is a great value! So much material included at such a great price. Nathan obviously is a pro and has taken the time and energy to work out the "kinks" in these escapes. You can tell that he has put in a lot of stage time. He also has a unique and humorous way of teaching. I thought I knew a thing or two and learned quite a bit! I'm looking forward to his next download! Buy this!
