Lock picking workshops
Teaching you the secrets of Houdini whilst CHANNELING mission impossible .......
We'll teach you the closely guarded secrets that the movie companies tried to hide for years.
How does it work ?
We deliver in a style to suit your team, whether it's for a group of international lawyers or security experts or jugglers.
A PowerPoint presentation can be utilised to lay out the underlying principles, the history and different types of locks or a more hands on approach with flip cards and demo locks.
How many can join in ?
How many have you got? Peters record is 44 at once , but that was in a circus tent and we may of had a drink as well… for large groups we split them into teams of ten work best , each team gets a personal lock picking trainer, and each member gets practice locks and a set of lock picks and in no time they will be opening locks like Houdini.
How long does it take to learn?
It takes very little time to learn the techniques but it takes practice to open your first lock, allow 30 minutes minimum, an hour is great and if you want a longer session bring some wine and cheeky comestibles . ( we can do that if required tho )

Is it safe?
Peter started his circus career juggling axes and breathing fire as " Captain Dangerous" and it all went downhill from there... .
He was a senior lecturer in Sport and Recreation Management and later a Health and Safety Officer and used knife throwing and fire eating to teach students H&S.
This gave him the skills and knowledge to convince Equity to insure his antics and on it goes from there..
