Here’s a cracking piece of kit that guarantees a top-notch performance of this classic mental magic routine.
The magician invites the audience to partake in a cheeky game of chance. He brandishes a hefty banknote, declaring it’s up for grabs... whoever wins gets to pocket the cash!
He then slides the banknote into a sleek, crystal-clear plexiglass container and secures it with a padlock. Next, he introduces 8 small keys, revealing that only one can unlock the padlock. The keys are tossed into a glass and thoroughly mixed. One by one, eager spectators take their turn trying to crack open the padlock. Spoiler alert: they all fail miserably. Finally, the magician (or even a spectator, if they’re feeling brave) tries the last key left untouched, and lo and behold, it does the trick! After this nail-biting performance, the magician can kick back, reclaim his cash, and soak up the well-deserved applause.
It’s an effect that fits in your pocket but is bound to dazzle even the largest audiences.
The gimmick is absolutely SPOT ON.
No sleight of hand required and no sneaky key swaps.
The custom-made container is crafted from top-quality crystal-clear plexiglass.
Performing this is a doddle—so you can focus on your showmanship.
Video instructions are included. Feel free to use banknotes from any country (Euros, Dollars, the lot). The banknote and glass aren’t included.
