This
one is great for intimate close up settings. A spectator is given 2
keys and one lock to examine. Both keys are different.
One key
opens the lock and one does not. The spectator is given the key that
does not open the lock. They hold that key tight in their fist.
You hold the other key tight in your fist. Just by bumping fists,
you cause the keys to switch places. Your key no longer opens the
lock. The spectator tries the lock and the key they have works.
The keys have switched places.
======================================
There
are many, many different effects you
can do with this lock.
Here is a familiar one...
Four
spectators are called upon to assist you. You hand the spectators a
solid brass padlock and 5 keys. They examine the keys and lock to
find that all the keys are different and only one will open
the lock. A hundred dollar bill is locked securely in a clear
plastic case. Each spectator selects a key leaving one out in plain
view. Who ever has the key that opens the case gets to keep the
hundred dollar bill. Before trying the key in the lock, each person
is given the choice to trade with another person, keep the key they have
or try the one on the table. Each person tries unsuccessfully to
open the lock and take the money. You take the last remaining key,
open the lock and pocket the hundred dollar bill.
This
sounds straight forward
But Read On...
