I'm still having problems with getting the spectators to "feel" the bend. When I'm doing this and asking "Do you feel it bending", It's getting soft like butter, etc I still get the response as "not really", I don't feel anything, etc.
BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The reaction I'm getting is tremendous. I've done it several times to co-workers and they freak out. One co-worker has it (the bent key)pinned under his name on the bulletin board. I asked him "Why do you have that hanging there?" and he said, "well maybe someone else will figure it out cause it's driving me nuts". Another I did it for at a local magi shop was simply awe struck. He then told the owner, "you have got to see this, the *** key melted in my hand"... LOL I'm really having a lot of fun with this. It's easy to do and I'm getting some of the best reactions ever. Sooner or later I'll figure out what I might be doing wrong but the results are still great. This is so far my best purchase for 2006, For those that want to truly fool thier audience without any knuckle busting I suggest you stop thinking about purchasing and get it now. Thanks Mr. Gerard!

Yeah this is a great trick. Expensive but I guess that is good to keep it out of the reach of most.

I just received Key Accessory in the mail today from a fellow Café'r.
I've taken time to read through the routine. All I can say is WOW Andrew, what a tremendous routine you have here. I can't wait to get keys and rubberbands in hand and work on this. I do believe this will become a 'regular' in my pocket carry around effect, just due to it's brilliant simplicity. I will certainly look forward to purchasing more of Andrew's effects in the future. If you're into Metal Bending, and GREAT routining, get this; I'm confident you'll love it. Better yet, if you haven't bought it yet, please don't, so only a FEW of us have this in our repertoire. Many thanks for releasing this A.G.! BEST... smitty |

LOVED reading of your very positive experience Jamie. Now I'm even MORE anxious to get some rubberbands (already have a can of keys from a locksmith, just waiting to be used) and get working on this.
From reading the instructions however, there is 'one' spot in the effect that made me think it can only be done 'one on one'. Perhaps I should PM Andrew about this, as I'm a little puzzled by the part, 'just' before the spectator (with the elastic around their wrist) begins to 'feel' the key bending. I don't want to say to much here, so I don't expose anything. Or, I could PM those of you who own and perform it. Anyway, AMAZING routine!! smitty |

Smitty,
I too had questions with some details listed in the instructions. Sent Andrew an email and he responded with all my questions resolved. Rich |

Hi all,
I bought Key Accessory (thanks to the Café) and I am happy with it. Yes I use it professionally but IMO the product though very good is overpriced. For the asked price a DVD covering a bit more the handling in the spectator’s hand and a few presentation suggestions would have been welcome. Anyway I pray for the release of more of Andrew's bending stuff. All the best, Guillaume Vallée |

Do not get this at all. I have been doing a key bending rountine for almost 20 years using the same MO, or gimmick, and find little or nothing really new in this presentation. Suggesting that the specator "feels" the Key bending is just normal good psi presentation, in this case started, I guess, by the greatest psychic performer of our time Uri Geller.
Can someone explain why they feel this is so unique. I have bought the instructions and pictures that come with it. In fact I think having the person and yourself sign the key, if it is their key, which is the most convincing way, is too magic or magician like. How could they not know their key. Any time you use your own props it is more suspect. In a large audience or groups you can almost always get some one to bring up a key. I almost never have a problem with getting a key. If not just go on to coin or fork or spoon bending. You can even PM me if you feel it is necessary. Regards magicusb

I met this chap at the Olympics. I said to him, "Excuse me but are you a pole vaulter?" he replied "No, I'm German, but how did you know my name was Walter?"

I know Andrew Gerard, the creator, mentioned somewhere else on here that there was a number of pirated versions floating around (one of which I unknowingly bought...argh!!) so maybe that has something to do with it.

This routine is tops, really. I love it and use it as my metal bending routine of choice. I'm also glad to hear that it is not widely available and obtainable through the creator only at this point!
Magicusb, I've been bending metal for quite some time as well. However, I would not say, "Do not get this because the MO is nothing new" (to paraphrase). While the work has been around for quite some time, the pacing, routining, presentation and misdirection inherent within this routine is tops, IMO. I didn't need the work to bend a key, I needed the work to bend a key WELL. To see the thinking and structure behind such a powerhouse effect is well worth the money called for to purchase. If anything, it is priced too low, and I mean that. When presenting key bending, many people are hesitant to offer up a key that will become non-working after the performance. It makes perfect sense to supply your own for the effect (at least, in my mind). This is something any conscientious and polite performer would do. Nobody wants to leave after the show and not be able to start their car or get into their house. I'm with Bob Cassidy and Andrew (among others!) on this one . . . bending keys (and coins) is the most powerful form of metal bending. Anyone can bend a spoon, and while they may not be able to bend it like we do, they can bend it nonetheless. I have yet to meet a person who could severely bend a key through brute strength alone (yes, I know they are out there). Anyhow, everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion and experience. For myself, I get tons and tons of mileage from this piece of work. It is vital to my presentations, and one of 5 effects I use in my paid close up performances. Thanks again, Andrew. Best, Jerome F.

Hi guys,
My friend Paul Harris has been visiting me here in Vancouver for a few weeks and I wanted to let you know that I will be releasing some well kept secrets with Paul....look out. Again Thanks to those that bought and use KA. The idea that both the performer sign the key, not only is to make things fair, BUT the main purpose is creat a psycological and somewhat emotional investment in the effect.Again the idea is that the performer and spectator ae both holding a key they signed and it bends through the power and imagination of BOTh their minds, I hope that helps. I have seen many people bend a coin or fork with people sitting back,( not invested)in what they are doing, I prefer to have the spectators involved. As many know I am a Key consultant for Criss Angel and we are in the break period of filming at the moment so I am at home for 3 weeks and will be taking orders for KA while I am home and can send them out. After that I will be working again in Vegas and KA will be unavailable again. Thanks for not selling/buying the photocopied rippoffs that were sold here. All the best, Andrew Gerard
Well then...

I went ahead and took the plunge on this. I have recently purchased PSY-KEY US-Version and thought this would be a great follow up on using ANY style of key. Im sure Key Accessory is gonna be a killer routine. Gimmick-free too? What more could you ask for?

I've been using this for many years, paid dearly for it, but have used it over and over. And over the years, I've used everything, and I mean everything, and while every method is good and has its pros and cons, overall, I just keep coming back to this. After years of performing it at parties, corporate events, and shows, I have this down as smooth as a baby's backside. When you first get it you say, "Huh? That's it?" But man, if you use it, there's just nothing easier in my humble opinion. Nothing to carry, no gorilla hand strength involved ... just perfect misdirection and a fail proof method. Done as in the instructions I feel it leaves something to be desired. But if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll tell you how I do it. Not that I'm the god of key bending or anything, but you know the old saying, "even a blind pig finds a truffle once in awhile." If you're into destroying keys as I am, I can't imagine finding anything simpler.
