I have received Key Accessory and I will be posting a review within the next day or so. I will say that Key Accessory is so VERY good and worthy of your consideration. I performed it for my wife last night and she literally jumped OUT of her skin! She was SO impressed that she wore it to a meeting she attended and showed it all around. Stay tuned for this one....

Key Accessory by Andrew Gerard
Price: $99.95 from Hocus Pocus Magic Category: Stage / parlour mentalism Difficulty: 2 out of 5. Absolutely no sleights or tricky handling. Mostly getting familiar with props, timing and confidence What they are saying: "Key Accessory adds a profound element of Impossibility. The spectator will swear that they have been in control of the key at all times!" - Richard Marks creator of "Key Warper" "Are you crazy???? Key Accessories is ******* too good to release! Key Accessories is strong enough for Geller to make a comeback!" - Patrick Kuffs "Key Accessory is key bending at its finest. Practical and powerful, this is a bulletproof routine; a real worker!" - Sean Fields "This routine and idea will make everyone a better key-bender. It's these little touches and subtleties that I love when I see a new method. Key Accessory has what it takes to devastate your next spectator. I have a feeling I will be seeing a lot of guys carrying both keys and rubberbands with them at all times." - Greg Arce "This is the BEST metal bending routine in existence PERIOD. It's personal, shocking and so unbelieveable. Andrew Gerard has outdone himself again!" - Frank Velasco A new effect from Andrew Gerard directly from his professional act! This effect has been said by many as the most powerful metal bending routine in existence, a personal experience for someone and a souvenir like no other! Effect: Several keys and colored rubber bands are shown. A key is freely selected by a spectator and initialed on one side and the performer on the other. Next a colored rubber band is chosen by the spectator and threaded through the head of the key. The band is placed over the spectator's wrist and they hold the key at their fingertips. The performer suggests they will feel the key soften and bend like rubber. They do, and it does! The key is felt bending while the spectator is holding it and it is still attached to a rubber band around their wrist. Your hands are left clean and they are left with an amazing souvenir! The package contains: 1 bag of colored rubberbands and keys 1 Special something (NOT a gimmick though) 1 Complete Scripting (includes a bonus routine) which includes four pages of complete instructions and one page of sixteen clear photographs to assist with every move and detail I say: This is the BEST metal bending routine I have ever used or seen! All the moves and patter are covered. All the moves are simple and there is absolutely nothing to get rid of or hide. The end result is the spectator is left with an unbelievable souvenir. Key Accessory has what it takes to be a worker because: 1) The magic happens in the spectator's hands 2) The spectators gets to keep the key as a souvenir 3) The key is isolated on the rubber band ( they picked ) which is attached to the spectator's wrist when it BENDS 4) The spectator and magician SIGN both sides of the key In my opinion, the real value with Key Accessory is in the spectator management, routining and explanation of an effect honed by hundreds of performances by Andrew Gerard. It is a straight to the point effect and it just slays the audiences. As a matter of fact, spectators tend to leave the key hanging on their wrists all night so it provides a great conversation piece. Everything is of sufficient, quality. The keys, special something and the instructions are superb especially the photographs whiched helped me tremendously. The real value are the clear instructions and photographs which are direct and concise! Quite a bit of time was devoted to the move and supplying the proper timed misdirection. This information alone is worth the asking price. The routine is simply ingenious and so very powerful! There is a bonus routine supplied with the instruction which I have not tried. Gerard did mention to me that the bonus routine will work better with larger groups. The bonus routine is very strong and can stand on it's own. Overall: I love this effect. It is, on the whole, very easy, to perform. This trick definitely has “No %&$#$ WAY!” factor. It has gone straight into my act! Negative: None as I see it... Rating: A well deserving 10/10 |

Can performer bend a spectator’s key or performer must use his own keys every time?
Key-chain (string) can be used instead of rubber band? Can a coin or nail be used instead of key? May be coin with hole? Give demo video! Demo video! Demo video! |

Thanks for the kind words about the review!
I'm telling everyone on this board that this one effect just SLAYS the spectators. I did this very effect during a walk-around show today and it was the talk of the party! Everyone wanted a key! People swear that they have CONTROL of the key the ENTIRE time. Only negative thing is that I'm now running out of keys after today's show! It is time for me to make some friends with the locksmiths in my area! A review for Exorcist Key will be coming soon.... |

Also, be sure to check with your local locksmith. When I first asked my locksmith for his discards he wanted to know why. I had him select the strongest key and it bent in his hand. Without sayig a word, he went out back and came out with a huge box of keys...free of charge. The box lasted me almost two years.

I have this and will say up front that Slydini62’s review is on the money and is an accurate overview of the effect. It really is that good! If you like to perform magic that is direct, uncomplicated and leaves your spectators stunned, this fits the bill perfectly. Andrew Gerard is right to point out in the notes that accompany the effect that until the routine is performed, you will not realise the profound effect it has on people and cautions that it should not be turned into a mere puzzle.
To me, this effect represents great value for money and is a genuine worker – anytime, anyplace with no set up required. It has clearly been honed and polished over time and it is up to the purchaser to put the time to make it his or her own. Its power lies in its simplicity and utter directness. Yes there are many methods that can be employed to achieve the same outcome but this is oh so clean and the magic takes place in the spectator’s hands. What more can you ask for? There is absolutely no clutter, unnecessary padding or questionable moves. In other words, it’s the way magic should be and you will know how to ‘do the business’ within 25 seconds of reading the instructions. You are buying a secret and a flawless routine. Yes, it could be sold as a $10 download, but it’s not that kind of effect. I don’t know Andrew Gerard, but I’m sure he thought long and hard before deciding to release this. I for one am pleased that he did.

Slydini62...I was gonna' do my usual "formatted" review on this one!
*** YOU!!!! You "took" my layout style as WELL as the words from my mouth!! LOL! Folks.. this is a wonderful bit of class. It’s uber-clean and genuinely takes place in the spectator's hand! Very slick and well supported by direct text and photos. Pro stuff this. You will need to practice...almost as if it were important to you! When you perform this with style and you nail it… you will smile from ear to ear and your spectator will opt for adult diapers! Shout and pout about the price if you will, but quality costs. It cost Andrew Gerard many years of hard work to get it “just so” and it will cost you $100 to share it. I’d say that’s fair enough. Sorry folks, it is expensive. If you want “factory made, self working, magician-foolers” that’s fine…Key Accessory by Andrew Gerard is NOT for you. If you want to know how to do this up close jaw dropper and are willing to practice…dig deep and pay the man!
Living at and loving Loch Ness!
