Everyone has heard of magicians and escape artists that pick their way out of handcuffs and padlocked chains and that kind of stuff; but where do they learn to pick locks?
I know magicians learn from books or stores or other magicians and then progressively go into bigger stuff, but how in the world do they learn to pick locks so well?
I’ve looked and I can’t find any books or anything on it. Can anyone help?
I’m an amateur magician and I really want to get into escape acts.

I have been an amateur magician for about 30 years, I learned to pick locks by 1st takeing them apart, (Houdini learned the same way) I learned the hard way. And truth be told, nowadays most locks cannot be picked. Most Magicians now a days use trick locks that can be found in any magic store.
