Ooh, i saw a great one on a cruise ship once... very flashy-looking couple, doing the traditional "sawing the woman in half" bit... except that before the box was locked, he put leather restraints on her wrists and ankles and had someone come up from the audience to inspect them... and what really got me was the collar... i couldn't really see where it added significant difficulty to the trick, but when he buckled it around her neck, then pulled it tight to the end of the table with a chain, it was HOT. Woof!
Crap, forgot my point. What i meant to add was that after watching that scene, i would have bet anything that the couple was D/s offstage as well. You could just tell from watching them do it that it was more than just part of the act.
Self-bondage can be dangerous, yes. As can couples bondage. There are ways to make it safer- have a backup method ready (you'd much rather wait for the key to fall than cut through those $120 leather cuffs... you'd much rather cut through the cuffs than have a diplomatically-worded obituary), set yourself up to be discovered if all else fails (the element of danger there can be hot in itself, although it requires judgement), resist the urge to practice breath control (damn sub frenzy), etc. If you use an electric timer (i know guys on another board who are working on complex computer programs running electrical toys, lights, water valves, etc., in addition to dropping the key) make sure it will drop the keys if the power goes out or the battery dies, etc...
There have been times that i've gone into it not knowing for certain that i'd be able to get out, and the rush was intense... but i consider that to be among the "dumbass lapses of judgement" moments in life... Now everything is planned very carefully. But even the planning and anticipation has its moments [;)]
