Imagine luck being on your side, but in a way that’s so clean and magical it’ll leave everyone scratching their heads.
BDM Hands Off is the latest offering from Bazar de Magia, and let's be honest, it’s a step above anything else out there.
Hand four keys to your audience and let them check that they can’t open the chest. Then, hand over a fifth key, and let the magic unfold.
Here’s the deal: you casually hand over something valuable—like your car keys. The spectators pop them into the chest and lock it up tight. Then, they mix up the keys like a game of musical chairs. You sit back and play the role of a bemused observer, guiding the actions while never getting your hands dirty.
Want to spice it up? How about suggesting a key swap among the spectators? (Nothing like a bit of cheeky mischief!)
Now, the moment of truth: who’s the lucky one with the key that opens the chest? You pick a spectator, build up some suspense, then send them packing by having them drop their key into the chest’s slot. No turning back now!
Next up is spectator number two. Same old routine, but the stakes are getting higher. One misstep now and you might as well start walking home.
When it’s time for spectator three, you hesitate (because suspense is key, right?). They pop their key in, and suddenly it’s down to two options. One more mistake, and you might have to break the chest open yourself. No pressure!
But with BDM Hands Off, you can rest easy. The whole shebang repeats with spectator number four, and then the fifth spectator steps up to open the chest, handing back your keys. Cue the standing ovation.

"This a fantastic improvement from the previous version. Completely hands off and is a joy to perform! Well done Bazar de Magia!"

"BDM Hands Off is a terrific effect. Random keys are dropped into the box until only one is left, and that always opens the box. This has so many possibilities for very strong routines, whether mentalism or magic. Hands Off has so many great features - a heavy box, sturdy keys, very easy to work, no suspicious moves, everything tried and tested - this is an exceptionally good lock and key trick."
- Jim Kleefeld (Author of the book Locked, the bible of padlocks and chests)
