Uh oh. I just ordered one. Hope it's not TOO shiny and thin. Will probably have to borrow the key from stooges to add to credibility.

Please check out Andrew Gerards Key Accessory if you are interested in a key bending routine.
It is the best key routine out there by a long way. The spectator ends up with their key signed and bent! Incredible routine that I have performed in the real world hundreds of times. Cheers, Paul. |

I suppose they'll later come out with Shift 2 that's exactly like a key. |

Received Shift yesterday and been playing with it. A little thinner than my house keys, but I've seen similiar type keys so that doesn't concern me. Big issue when I got it was after I staightened it out in ice water, it wouldn't stay staight--tried 4-5 times. Finally put it staightened in ice water for the night and today it works great--bends beautifully and straightens out after 30 seconds in ice water. They mention other ways to cool the key down to straighten it ie cooling spray, but since I do mostly closeup at a table the ice water works for me.
Feel it's a great illusion showing the power of the mind. Not inexpensive but comes with a 2 year guarantee! |

That's encouraging since I ordered before too many posts

I have received mine today, and I've performed this to my father-in-law as he was the only one around. He works with heavy machinery, and it's a big guy so the first thing he did after I finished bending the key in his hands, was trying to bend it back. In the first 2 seconds I was scared, but guess what.... he couldn't bend it back!!! I was laughing so much inside, it was almost hard to contain my smile. Excellent. He looked puzzled and he had no clue!
The key looks like a few that I have around the house, so I don't think thickness is a problem - at all. It looks like a regular key. I think most of the comments, people are being picky. Stop thinking as magicians. At first glance, I can say I'm happy with mine. Super practical, can't wait to take this out on the weekend and see how it goes. Love it! |

IMO, for a perfect ending of this kind of an effect, one needs two keys - One key that bends and a second key that straightens.
P.S. Checkout Demo videos:- Key Bends And Key Straightens

Unbending key? Wow that's neat. The only thing with these, including Shift, is the keys all look like thin, shiny, lightweight cabinet keys.

52 MAGIC (the company selling the keys referred to by Ustaad) like KING MAGIC, sells 90% rip off products.
It's best to avoid these companies for many reasons

I really like this but I have a question. My keys are usually in one of my jeans pocket (back pocket). Would the heat from sitting on the keys activate the key?

I have this Key & it works great for me ! You could always carry a small ice pack they are mini like the size of a pack of cigs . This will keep it straight I also found the spray to work best for me the prep only 10 seconds .

I have received my key a couple of days ago. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Gimmick: the key has a lot of detail. I like that. Engraved, machined, etc makes it authentic. Actually I've seen similar keys to this one in many shops. I have left my key on the dinner table before going to sleep, by the morning was still flat. 10/10 Instructions: a lot of ideas in both manual and video, but at the end, we will all use it in the same way: a key that bends on the spectator hand. I don't think it can get more strong and clean than this. 8/10 Audience feedback: Ive performed it around 5 times and I had a great response from people. It's super clean. Not a single suspicious comment about it. 10/10 Cons: You have to cool it down. Hope one day they find way to do the setup without cold. But I guess, that would be Real magic! 8/10 Overall, along with Micro Psychic I think this has been one of my best purchases this year. Highly recommended. |

True the Key is very nice I perform this effect by using the silver gimmick key & a normal brass key . I then force the gimmick key (Silver) then begin to rub the key to cause the bend . This routine works better for me & quicker for the bend . If you put the key in the specs hand I find it longer for the key to bend . Anyone else have this problem ?
Thanks, Jeff |
