A borrowed ring is locked on a 4 digit combination brass lock, the dials are mixed by the magician and the spectator can hold on to the lock while the dials are mixed and spectator can test a few times that the lock cannot be opened. Spectator thought of any 4 digit number and put the numbers on the lock by herself. This proves to be the secret code that opens the lock! Spectator retrieves her ring from the lock in the end. There is no need to force any pre-conditioned numbers such as someone's year of birth, anniversary or birthday.

You can do either of the following:
1. Ask spectator to name ANY 4 digit number
2. Tell the spectator you are going to project the secret 4 digit number to her mind and have the spectator name it.
3. Have 4 different people name a single number each to form a 4 digit number. (This plays big on stage) Whatever numbers the spectators have chosen, they put the numbers and open the lock with their own hands!

Alan Wong:
"I remembered my fascination when I saw the effect of a combination lock that opened on my year of birth. Later I came to notice an enhanced version that opens only on the month and day of your birthday. This further enhanced my interest and become a dream to develop a stronger effect with the combination lock possibilities where you are not limited to dates and years but open with any numbers named without any force and presetting work. After more than a year's work, I am pleased to present you here my idea realized of such desired effect, the Dream Lock."

Important points:

  • Work is pure mechanical, nothing will break
  • Nothing to add or taken away
  • No electronics parts, no remote control
  • No magnets, no PK rings
  • No threads, no wires
  • No buttons, no switches
  • No gravity switch, no directional limit
  • No timers
  • No years, no birthdays (not limit to these although you can use these numbers)
  • Lock can be in spectator's hand from the beginning to end of performance
  • Reset in 2 seconds and right under the nose of a spectator
  • Any 4 digit number can be named. Absolutely no force.
  • Remember this: Spectators set the chosen numbers on the lock. They open it themselves!

i really like this thing. you can prove that its a normal lock and that it will not open if pulled. they can come up with any number(s) and try and you'll have a miracle. its very simple so you just need to play with how you are going to manage your spec and what the "theme" for this will be. your presentation. you'll learn to use the lock in about a min.

the cons: come come now ppl, its a $3 modified lock that sell for almost 100. if you can get through that i recommend grabbing this.2nd, when it has been opened it doesnt really "pop" open. i had one spec not know she had opened it. its a very small movement so make sure you instruct them.

p.s. as a bonus to really prove that the randomly selected numbers really are the combination you can thumb write it onto a piece of paper through a cut out in an envelope. remove the paper from the envelope to show them while theyre reacting to the lock being opened.

Cool Trick at Patries Report this review

Really like this trick but I think the $100 price is way out there! Getting me to pay the $100 for this lock is even a better trick!

Dream Lock by Alan Wong Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 14th, 2018
This is a great effect. The lock well made (big & heavy). The gimmick is counter intuitive, and fools everybody. With good patter & presentation, it kills!

Way below expectations Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 20th, 2020
The concept behind this is just too bold for today's audiences. I've been a performer for over 20 years and know how to manage audiences but this is kind of ridiculous. Total junk drawer purchase. I can see it working in a theater show where you have total control of everything but otherwise it's just too easy for the audience to work this backward. I bought it on a lark but it was an expensive mistake. If you're looking for an audience to be able to call any number and have the lock open I've found that Patrick Redford's Glemme is the absolute best I've found. He talks about it with a good amount of detail in his first penguin lecture. It's 1000% better than this method and uses a normal lock - fancy that!

Best I have found Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 30th, 2019
I have another lock from a different manufacturer that works the same way but that lock is smaller than the Dream Lock and the numbers are harder to see. This lock is exactly what I was looking for. I love it and it's in my show. By the way, you can play this up for stage or carry it in your pocket. It is that versatile.

It's all in your presentation Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 19th, 2018
Ok, this is expensive for what it is, and essentially you are given a tool that will only be as astonishing as the presentation you come up with for it. However, after using it several times in shows I can say that it is incredibly powerful when done right. You are given a very basic handling in the instructions, so unless you have a specific idea for using this you aren't going to have a lot to go on. Put some thought into how to be creative with it, definitely add a lot of byplay with the audience (or this will be a 30 second trick), and you'll have a miracle for them.
