I think walmart carries some key savers, not with any designs or pictures, in fact about half the amount of rubber you see in the thinkgeek site.
but walking around and them making noise, another member recommended getting a magnet on a playing card. that is a great idea, just make sure your keys are steel and you're gtg!

Would like to know how that turns out myself, I would think it would make doing the dirty work harder having the clip stuck to a magnet.
No one said it would be easy, or did they?

You can get a magnet that isn't that strong, but will aid in stopping the keys from jingling so much.

Yeah I definatly noticed this !!...
If you perform this in a bar/club or poss on street ..no one will ever notice !!... BUT.. if you are a resturaunt performer this could be a problem!..the noise kinda "distracts" the spectator form the effect..alot of patter and mis direction is needed to hide the key's talkin too much!.. overall it's really not a majour issue...at the end of the day , key's on a key ring/fob will " talk"..it would probably be more wierd if they made noise at all!!.. just a thought !!... I still love this effect and has yet not let me down!!... |

I initially thought this was the same thing as the Morelli Ring Flight and although similar in principle the workings are quite different and better IMHO + the spectator can handle the gimmick, all that and not forgetting you get an excellent Ring On String routine too. Nice one Nick! Adam |

Thanks Adam
I have been delighted by the wonderful comments by those kind people both on and off this forum. It is strange because I have been using this for years and it is quite a pet routine - so to make it public was a big thing for me. I am glad that people can see the differences between this and other similar effects available. I still think one of the underrated highlights of Pro-Flite is being able to safely carry your keys in everyday use. The noise is a non-issue - No one has ever asked about it and it has never been a distraction for me - use it for a few weeks and the noise will become as invisible for you as it is for the spectators - It is such a common sound that no - one will question what the noise is. I can tell you that World Magic Shop and Craig Petty's Key Master fits Pro-Flite perfectly and DOES make a great combination. I am sure the other effects mentioned do too but I only own KeyMaster. It is worth checking out. Nick |

I'm very pleased with Pro Flight. In fact, I liked it so much that I ordered a spare. For those that are curious...you can (easily) remove 'Keymaster' from the unit without having to remove the leather Fob because the key holes are wide enough to slip through the locking mechanism, but it is not possible to do the same with Greg Wilson's 'Freakey'. I devised an alternate handling for Freakey but you'll need a duplicate set of keys....simply pretend to remove them (your hands will be concealing the set already on the ring), since nobody is paying any attention while you're removing the two keys.
Somebody had mentioned the comparison between Pro Flight and the Morelli Ring version... IMO the Morelli gimmick is better suited for those who prefer to remove their keys from a jacket pocket because the gimmick hangs nicely in-place to the inside pocket. Pro Flight seems to be easier to load when wearing jeans or pants with 'tighter' pockets. -Jared |

Jared, If you change the keyfob out for a slightly wider and longer one Pro-Flight hangs just as nice to the inside pocket. If you can find a fob with a small chain and round heavy medal disk on the end it works a treat. I found a nice one at an air port gift shop during a layover that I put on mine. Just a quick FYI on that. For those going to the inside pocket instead of the back. Make sure to work on your timing. It should be one flowing motion, going into the pocket and come right back out!. So far I have done it this way over 20 times and seems to be getting better as I do it. Floyd

Also hearing the keys before bringing them out and into the open is a tell that you are doing something. In a room that has a lot of back ground noise this is not an issue at all. However not every environment will be like this. It comes down to personal preference I think, and as I stated you don't have to hang them on the outside at all.

I agree with the author of this thread.. I own Pro Flite too and I think its a very good routine facilitated by a top notch, examinable gimmick.
I use Pro Flite myself for a keyring penetration routine, instead of the vanish/reappearance routine taught in the DVD. Mr. Einhorn teaches the handling and subtleties of the routine very concisely on the DVD, and nothing is left out. It is definitely something you will like to use often if you are a close up magician. |

Has anyone changed or found a good alternative to the leather fob that comes with it? I don't like unicorns.

For those that own Pro-Flight you might like to know you can peel off the Unicorn logo with a sharp craft knife - the whole 'rubber' disc will come off and leave you with a plain metal tag which you could have engraved at your local engravers - with you favorite or preferred logo. In the UK many key cutters or shoe repair places do this type of engraving. Really nice to hear such positive comments about this release. Good luck! and continued success. Nick |

Thank you einhorn! (Is that german for 'one horn'?) I managed to wedge my fingernail under the unicorn and yank it off. I will think about getting it engraved. Much better.

This seems to be on back-order at a several popular online retailers like Hocus Pocus and Penguin. I hope they are in stock soon.
