ProFlite:
Received - excellent DVD demonstration and extra bonus effect - easy and simple with best reactions with no worry about damaging a borrowed ring. Very good value. Nat |

Also from my front trouser pocket as well and same reaction. Seems to make more since to me because I never put my keys in my back pocket so maybe my movements are like how I would normally pull out my keys. I don't know it just seems to be much smoother for me. Give it a try once, would like to hear how this works out for others. Floyd

How similar is this to "Ringer" by Steve Dusheck? I bought Ringer a few years back directly from Steve at the following site:
http://www.stevedusheck.com/ The demo looks like a similar concept and maybe even a similar gimmick. Steve's gimmick is not 100% examinable but the spectators can handle the gimmick a little. I was just curious. |

Got pro-flite a couple of days ago and think it is a great. Just one thing - has anyone found that with the gimmick in the suggested set up position, that walking around is very noisy with the walking motion causing the keys to bang together! Also when perfomring the trick I find that any slight body movement causes quite a lot of noise. Any ideas or suggestions?

What's everyone's opinions about having Greg Wilson's FreaKey and Andrew Gerard's Key Accessory all on Pro-Flight's key ring? I'm not saying that you have to perform all 3, but maybe 2 of them? that's quite a few routines just on keychain!

One of the other members said to buy a Key saver that goes over the end of the key that is rubber to help with this. I don't know the name of them but here is a link. http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/moms/a54a/ Something on the lines of those will help. I put a plastic auto key in the middle but still suffer from the clinging of the keys. So till I figure out a better way its in the pocket for me.

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.

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
