A key is openly held in the performer's hand and after talking briefly about the movie The Exorcist and how the girl's head twists around, the peformer shakes his hand and the shaft of the key becomes twisted. Seems like a nice routine and can be done with Key Accessory.

I just ordered it from HP along with Mr. Gerard's Key Accessory. Based upon the recommendations of those who are familar with Mr. Gerard's routines, these effects are strong and I am looking forward to receiving both of them.

Sounds like that could be used with the Reality Twister too.

Mystician,
While I certainly understand and apprecaite your idea, I personally would not do these two particular effects back to back since they both involve the same end result. Although you could perhaps do the Reality Twister premised as an optical illusion type effect (illusion versus reality) and then do the Exorcist Key to demonstrate the power of the mind to make illusion into reality. Best regards, Michael

Michael, I didn't mean that you'd necessarily follow one effect with the other, sequentially, although if someone wanted to, well.. that's up to them.
I meant, you could use the reality twister gimmick on the key, instead of a pen. Understandably, this makes the effect more of a reality twister effect than the original effect, but I was just pointing out that the key could be used as an alternative accessory for RT, only because the end result is similar. (Besides, the pens that come with RT are junk.) Granted, it would most likely play stronger just as it is though. Sorry, I'm steering this off topic, so, back to the Key. For an extra something in your routine, put a teaspoon of pea soup in a small (or cut off) balloon, and hold it just behind the key, then after the bend, squeeze the balloon with the end pointed towards the spect.. Just kidding.
Just hanging out with the rest of my fellow dregs.

For $70 I expected more than what I received. Save your money on this one... I would be embarassed to put this on the market for anything more than a $5 pdf.

I just read the manuscript sent to me by Gerard.
Robertson, you ARE getting more than just the props. You are getting a new and different key bending routine (have you ever seen anyone else twist a key? I haven't), and more importantly, you are getting a finalized, PROFFESSIONAL routine, honed through years of REAL WORLD experience. Granted, it was exactly what I was expecting, but that isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Bottom line is I would have never thought of doing this, but Gerard did, and for that I applaud and thank him. Like virtually every other effect he has released, this is a real world worker. You are not paying for a new gadget or gimmick that does the work for you, you are paying for a part of Gerards repertroire. An effect that has made him not only one of the best in his field, but also a widely respected and sought after consultant for the big guys, such as Criss Angel. As I said before in the Key Accessory thread, if you are looking for a 'fun' gimmicky gadget, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a tried tested and true worker, then here you go. Sean |

This was totally not worth the price. $70 is an obscene an arrogant amount to be paid for what your getting. A lot of his friends will tell you otherwise but, mark my words: If you get this, you will be dissapointed.

Sean,
Imagine I consulted for David Blaine or Copperfield (the real big guys) does that give me the right to put out a mediocre product for 3 times what its worth? Don't get me wrong this can be a strong routine, but it would be ignorant of me to agree that the "PERCIEVED VALUE" of this effect is worth what its selling for. Effects that you put out are priced wisely. I'm a big fan of "Northbound" and "Explicit Content" both of which I feel I got my moneys worth. Excorsist key shouldn't be a stand alone product for $70 that would be like taking a chapter from "Explicit Content" and marketing it for that price. |

I respectfully disagree... You ARE getting more than just the props here. You are getting a brillant and well thought PROFESSIONAL routine, honed with years and years of REAL WORLD experience. A twisting key is a brillant idea and the power of profound disbelief on your spectator's face when you perform this effect will be worth easily $70.00 in just repeat bookings. This one effect alone will get you bookings. This trick is a real WORLD worker. I know but you are not getting a really cool gimmick for $70.00 but you are paying for one of Gerard's pet effects that he has used for years directly from his metal bending act. This is a tried and true effect that BLOWS away spectators minds. I love this trick and I think it is priced too low! A complete review will follow over the weekend. I hope you could reconsider your opinion and try it out on someone when you have practiced it well! Magically, Frank Velasco |

Frank, words in caps like PROFESSIONAL, REAL WORLD, and BLOW does not change my opinion of this effect. I'm not a newbe in magic and I have a solid grasp on the value and percieved value of magic effects. A thumb tip alone will get me repeat bookings.. that does not mean it is worth $70. I exagerated when I said a $5 pdf. This is a $20 effect at best. I AM all about the effect, no matter how simple the method. Gerards Ice effect is great.. it is worth the $100. He discovered a method and applied it to create a great effect. I know where I stand with Exorcist Key and I respect any honest nonbiased disagreements.

When I first recieved this effect I was stunned at what a waste of money I had spent, my friends werent sure if their was instructions missing or something, that's how bad it is. Defenitly possativly not worth $70.00, the routine and the gimmick I could possably see a budding 9 year old magician coming up with it in his garage. If you want to buy a good trick from gerard get the water to ice one. The Exorcist Key hopefully unlocks a dumpster in which you can then throw it into, honestly guys if your thinking about buying it you mine as well light on fire 70 dollars for warmth.
Sorry A.G, its just not your best work

You obviously have NOT tried this effect for the paying public. I used Exorcist Key in a show today and it KILLED. It was probably one of the most talked about tricks today from my show. You need to be a good actor to pull this off though... Magically Frank V |

Joe,
I am not sure why you are dissapointed in the exorsist key routine.... If you read the add that reads EXACTLY what happens in te routine, and you BOUGHT the effect BASED on that add.... then what you bought, DOES EXACTLY what the add reads. If you did not think the effect is "worth" the money, then WHY did you buy it? I am not sure why you think some of the instructions are missing, do you not understand something, if not just ask. This routine is gimmick free and ends clean, if you like you can buy a gimmick that will bend things for $500.00, but you need to ask your spectators to put a bucket over their head for a minute. If you were expecting something else,I am sorry. But I have no control over YOUR EXPECTATIONAS. MANY have bought this effect and added it into their show,and have emailed to tell me how much they loved it...To Those of you, Thank you. NOBODY has EVER twisted a key before... do you know how hard it is to create something that has NEVER BEEN DONE? Thank you to all that have reviewed this and other effects, your words mean allot to me. Sean Fields,( who I have never met)has the most accurate post of all: SEAN FIELDS QUOTE; You are getting a new and different key bending routine (have you ever seen anyone else twist a key? I haven't), and more importantly, you are getting a finalized, PROFFESSIONAL routine, honed through years of REAL WORLD experience. Granted, it was exactly what I was expecting, but that isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Bottom line is I would have never thought of doing this, but Gerard did, and for that I applaud and thank him. Like virtually every other effect he has released, this is a real world worker. You are not paying for a new gadget or gimmick that does the work for you, you are paying for a part of Gerards repertroire. END QUOTE MY RECCOMENDATION, If you are performing paid performances and are a professional,or serious performer, this effect pays the bills. If you are a hobbiest looking for a new "cool trick" DO NOT BUY MY EFFECT! Good luck to all with your magic, In Thoughts, Andrew Gerard
Well then...
