I really love this trick. I have not received the product yet, but I have got the tutorial and the
method is close enough to one of the original Keymaster effects that I feel confident giving this
huge praise. If you do not already own Keymaster (get it!) this will still kill as a stand-alone
effect. If you do own Keymaster, you already know how great of a trick it is and this just adds
another impossible moment to a minor miracle.
Gatekeeper also has one of the best, to the
point, and well produced tutorials I have seen penguin ever put out. It is not terribly long, but it
does not need to be. In fact, I would say it is the perfect length for the trick. The angles,
quality and instructions are really top notch.
Craig and Penguin Magic really unlocked a
treasure with this one!

If you perform Keymaster, Gatekeeper is just a natural extension for the routine. They keys look
perfect alongside the Keymaster set & the routine for Gatekeeper can even be performed as a great
solo routine for shorter performances!

I love performing Craig's Keymaster. Just received Gatekeeper and it is such a great kicker to an
already amazing routine-- Love this.

There’s lots of tricks around that claim to be an EDC, this is a key, it doesn’t get much more EDC
than that. If you’ve already got key master this is a no brainier, it fits perfectly into your
already polished routine, if you haven’t, it’s a great stand alone trick.
I’m not great at
sleight of hand but picked this up super quick and it’s so impactful. Great for an actual close up
gig and fantastic as an impromptu trick to my mates when I’m out.
Takes up no space at all
and blows people away, awesome trick

I have enjoyed playing around with this gimmick very much. I started coming up with my own handling
before seeing the video instruction, just for fun, but the video instruction was all the more
brilliant since you could tell that it was informed by performing as well as by lots of clever
thinking. I am fairly versed in coin magic, but I loved that some of the handling here is not just a
coin move, but an actual handling specific to keys. There's also a handling that is similar to coins
that is less visual but more engaging. So, you get to choose. I loved this very much.
Simple techniques at use here for an amazing effect. Keys are heavy and well made. If you find
yourself constantly practicing your palming techniques, this is great to have in your pocket. You
can use a recommended coin, folded bill, or even another key.
Great effect excellent genuine EDC. If this looks good to you buy it now!!! Because it is good.
The keys are well made and the trick is easy enough to perform. You will have to practice as this is
slight of hand and no gimmicks, but the payoff is well worth it.
Great reactions.
Best,

Hi,
I really love this effect and it advances the keymaster seamlessly. Especially, if
you're not wanting to do the rope part of the project (due to any reason) you'll have a tool at hand
to extend and then transition over to your coin sets' tricks!
