Short stick, cane technique against wrist

We were playing with a short stick during training last night - about six to eight inches long - and doing some fun and nasty wrist locks with it. Just for fun, we brought out a cane to see if we could do some of the same locks but couldn't see how to pull it off.
It seems like you could, especially with the curve of the cane. So I thought i'd throw it out to the group and see if anyone had any tips to share.
