Hello Klaus,you seem to be asking for the big secrets of the trade both locksmithing and escape artists.
Firstly, lets consider the games of tennis or golf, thousands play both and do it well. Few do it with excellence, the same applies to locksmiths and escape artists. Most can do many things and few can nearly do them all.
Due to the security nature of the trade of locksmiths I won't go into detail but I have seen tools which open locks that the average locksmith will never encounter and would not even know of.
Also I personally know some escape artists that have never failed to open handcuffs. Obviously there are cuffs and cylinders which one would prefer not to have to work on but with time, all things are possible.
Not a real answer but an explanation.
regards
Ian
