I have peformed the haunted key early on in my magic career and had great reactions. The most
important concept of this trick is to have good patter to go along with it. The key is fully
examinable but it would be best to have the audience examine the key beforehand. THe quality of the
gimmicked key is great and will no dount last a lifetime.

The Haunted Key is difficult, and easy...depending upon how you work at it. Variations in placement
can be 'key' so experiment. If you find that one placement-of the key in your hand-does not work
well, for you, try another placement...backwards, upside down, or whatever, from what the
instructions suggest. Find what works for you, and stick with it. Once you get the hang of the
effect, it amazes those who see it. You can perform close up, fully surrounded, with little
practice, and repeat as often as you wish with instant reset. Pass the key around, to be examined,
and the secret will go undetected. Use to demonstrate PK ability, or to prove the existance of a
spirit helper, or figure out your own approach. This trick offers high effect for low price, and
spooks adults as well as children. Pull it on a mystically inclined female-into Witchcraft, Tarot,
etc-and enjoy the results

A classic effect in magic, the haunted key always had one flaw; the keys you needed to do it were
OLD and NO ONE had them or had a reliable source to get them.
Well, Royal has changed that.
You can now, for a little more than 5 bucks, get a key that works PERFECTLY and instructions
allowing you to do the classic effect. I love this and am glad to have a place to buy a key for it!
Highly recommended if you enjoy good, clean, PK magic.

This effect looks like pure PK
Selfcontained, instantly reset , extremly visual and spooky.
I have it always in my keychain, my "Key of the imagination and possibilities".
You need to work in this piece, to transform the "trick" in an "event"

Key needs to be positioned on your hand so it doesn't look like you are moving your hand to make it
look good. Try different positions. It fools my friends.
The secret behind this is so clever, and the effect looks amazing, as if it's moving on its own. It
involves NO magnets and no strings or glue, FYI. Examinable before and after and nothing to hide.
Its only downfall is it looks very old fashioned and outdated, but then again, you can use to your
advantage by crafting some 'haunted house' story behind it.
