A heavy duty, solid, two inch Brass Cased "Old English" padlock, completely rustproof with four Brass 'pick-proof; levers. The extra strong forged Steel Shackle makes this padlock seem really solid. Solid brass pins and rivets are used in the construction, and there is a brass keyhole cover with an 'easy lift' slide. A solid, heavy and expensive looking padlock that would be hard for anyone to open without the key, YET YOU CAN OPEN IT INSTANTLY! All you have to do is insert a fingernail under the keyhole weather cover and push upwards... the lock will INSTANTLY OPEN ! Imagine the effect...a spectator locks the padlock and keeps the key. You take it, place it into a small box and give it to someone else to hold. You then show a couple of small plain, blank plates. The name "Houdini" appears. The spectator opens the box to find that the lock is now OPEN! - just one of the hundreds of uses for this amazing padlock.
