I've been using this for a few days now and really enjoy it. I got the knack of the 'moves' rather quickly and have been performing it, as written by Sankey. It is a 2 phase key-off-rope/key-on-rope routine. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this a little longer? I mean, it's killer for the layman (especially when they 'bite' and ask me what that key around my neck is for) but it's over in about 20 seconds. Anyone else use this, and what ideas can we come up with for it?

Thanks, Jay

I have heard that Sankey's "Leaving Home" is pretty impressive and I am glad to hear someone else say it. Where is a good place to pick up this trick?

I wouldn't buy the trick. Buy the Sankeytized I video instead. It has Leaving Home(which you can make with a key and string) and other great effects.

As for lengthing the routine, I wouldn't do it. Why not keep it quick and clean. It melts off, it melts back on. Done.

Allen Gittelson posted some ideas in an earlier thread found below that you may find useful.

It's also on volume 3 of his "Best of" videos. Definitely pick up one of the videos over the individual effect -- way more bang for the buck.

Harvey Rosenthal has a full routine very similar and very well done called Melt Through.
