In the video with Rick Lax he mentions that this prop is expensive but that it's worth it because
you will use it and ...
It's True.
YOU WILL USE THIS!
I mean come on
they're keys! So easy and natural to carry/bring into play! Something this easy to get into deserves
to be in your reperoire.
Gregory Wilson has an awesome routine. Get the actions down and
perform it.
Some Tips:
-Don't use Greg's "because we weren't playing for money" line.
-At the end of the routine after people react say "and I'll take that back as it is my house
key."
-About a minute after the routine is over and your simply conversating with your
spectator say "that was crazy how I made the gold key appear in your hand!"
-Purchase
key-identifier and place them on your freakeys.
To close please know - this is a worker.
Get it, perform it, and become awesome.

I just want to add an update to my review.
First off the effect itself is still amazing and always will be. This update pertains more to the construction of the gimmick and possibly the customer service here at penguin. I had a problem with my gimmick becoming discolored (The copper side was turning silver) so i contacted penguin and spoke with a gentlemen named Chris about it. I emailed him photos of my gimmick and he saw the problem and said he would contact me back to help out with my problem after he speaks with his team about it. I NEVER got a response from him. I even emailed him again, but still no response. I was ignored. So i took it upon myself to fix my gimmick. I fixed my problem by putting key identifiers around my keys which hid the discoloration. With my problem fixed i was good to start performing this awesome effect. Sad thing is that today the key chain that was supplied to hold the keys broke in half. I keep my keys on the loop on the side of my pants using the keychain supplied and today when i went to reach for my keys i was horrified to see that only half the key chain was attached to my pants. The keys and other half of the keychain were long gone. 95 hard earned dollars gone. For 95 dollars i feel that the keys shouldn't have discolored and key chain shouldn't have broken in half. I feel i should be compensated in some way. Especially since i was ignored the first time around. I hope my 95 dollars hasn't just disappeared into nothing...
