This is a visual piece of magic. However, there are very specific clothing requirements. Brad does
give suggestions to expand the clothing range, but there as a side note and are not practical. This
is only practical for video work. I don't recommend this.

You can't borrow a key you must use your own key, I know the trailer said you can but you can't the
reason I gave 4 star because it is still a good effect, well thought out.

Its visual for laymen but for magicians its fairly obvious. even if you know how it works buy it so
you now how to make the gimmick. It is a worker so I would buy it anyway.

I really like this effect, it is definitely visual and gets a good reaction..
But there are its
pros and cons..
Pros: -very visual
-very thought out
-teaching on
the download is good
-easy to do and easy to make the gimmick
Cons: -borrowing
a key is not recommended that doesn't play well
- must adjust gimmick every time
depends on pants
-suggest you buy more than just one gimmick to build make
More pros than cons, and it is a neat effect to have and do, for the price it's worth grab'n.!

It looks visual when done correct but man is it impractical you can't even hand out the clip

This trick requires making the gimmick with inexpensive items you probably already have or can buy
very cheap. Brad says you have to have black pants however I believe you can modify it with no
problem. The performance is very easy and extremely visual. I do locksmith work so I think this will
be a great way to get customers to remember me.

I really like this trick, i carry my keys around on one of these already so it fits my style
perfectly. i do have some issues with it not working right everytime or the key appearing before i
want it to or a little showing when its not supposed to. when it works right it a lot of fun to
perform and gets really nice reactions

I first saw this trick when Penguin sent me an e-mail because it was on sale for I think $5 or
something. Sometimes I can figure out how the tricks work but this one I couldn't. I had my thoughts
of course but still couldn't quite place it. I figured what the heck and paid the $5.
UPS:
1) Visual when it works.
2) Easy enough to do with little to no practice.
3) You can
always make more than one gimmick for different pants.
DOWNS:
1) You can't hand out the
clip
2) Better performed at nighttime or in darker areas.
UP AND DOWN:
1) You CAN
use a borrowed key but you'll have to do a swap and make sure they get their key back. Like Dr
Sloggie said: "...in the promo vid he states that you borrow a key from your spectators but that
would or could make this effect difficult (not all keys are the same)."
All that being said
it's a fairly cool effect. I like starting off with no key on the ring and then making one "pop"
onto it. The idea of starting with one key and then taking it off seems a little lame. How many
people do you know carry around a single key on a carabiner?
This effect is great and easy to do, and for the price, it's basically a steal. The only downside of
this is that there IS clothing requirements. It shouldn't be too hard to make it work with what you
wear, but just keep that in mind. I'd recommend this trick to anyone who wants an easy reaction. But
all in all, great job Brad!
