We also teach you how to make a bonus gimmick that will allow you to borrow a set of keys, remove a single key from the set and visually link it back on and INSTANTLY hand it back to your spectator for examination.
Comes with a DVD, a precision made gimmick and rubber bands.

It seems impromptu, as long as you’ve got the gimmick on your key chain, you are ready to go! The smart routining also allows you to apparently have the same key examined. There is also a bonus effect that makes it seem like you do a similar routine with a borrowed key and key ring. The visual on this effect is JUST as nice as the main routine.
Alan does a wonderful job explaining everything on the DVD. He leaves no stone unturned, and doesn’t beat a point to death.
I love this thing. I’ve gotten a couple of ‘seemingly impromptu’ street style effects lately, and this is definitely my favorite, and in my opinion, the best value.
It’s simple, and looks just as good live as it does on the video. Five stars across the board!

Watch the video . . . yep . . . it's that clean. The gimmick is very well made and will last forever-ish. I will say, that I had to somewhat adjust mine a little bit to get it to work cleanly, but no big deal at all. The only other thing I'd be weary of is linking it on the spectator's necklace. It will work, but I'd be afraid I'd break their chain.
Just be careful. Rorrison gives some good pointers here on what kind of necklace to look for, how to get them to loan it to you and a few simple pointers about dealing with people in general . . . all very good. One thing to keep in mind is that the gimmicked key is not examinable . . . you have to do a you-know-what to make it so it seems they examined it before you link it and after you unlink it. It's an easy you-know-what, and Rorrison teaches it well, but just be aware that the ad copy may have lead you to believe that the actual gimmick is examinable.
Final words on the gimmick: The link is super easy and super visual. The unlink is super visual, but not as easy. Just make sure you take the time to practice these moves pretty heavily before taking them out into the real world.
Finally, the bonus gimmick that they teach you how to make is killer . . . stupid simple, but the visuals are amazing. Borrow a spectator's set of keys. Remove a key from the ring. Then bang it (like a linking ring) right back onto the key ring, and instantly hand it out. No switches; you're totally clean. To me this is the best thing on the DVD and something I'd be very likely to use. Considering that you get the gimmick, a visual easy to do effect, a really cool bonus effect and a fairly well-produced DVD all for $30 bucks . . .
Final Verdict:
5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!
