The Blurb
This effect has been said by many to be the most powerful Metal Bending Routine in existence, a personal experience for someone and a souvenir like no other…
Effect
Several keys and colored rubber bands are shown. A spectator freely selects a key. The key is initialed on one side by the spectator and then initialed by the performer on the other side. Next, a colored rubber band is chosen by the spectator and threaded through the head of the key. The rubber band is placed over the spectator’s wrist and the spectator holds the key at their fingertips. The performer suggests that the spectator will feel the key soften and bend like rubber, they do, and it does. The key is felt bending while the spectator is holding it and it is attached to a rubber band around the spectator’s wrist the whole time! Your hands are left clean and they are left with an amazing accessory.
“Key Accessories adds a profound element of impossibility. The spectator will swear that they have been in control of the key at all times”
Richard Marks creator of Key Warper.
My Comments
Experienced mentalists, or PK workers, may possibly be disappointed in this as the key bending technique is nothing new. However, Andrew Gerard's handling of this is what makes this very attractive and what makes it worth the price. The way it's handled will fool participants badly. And just what is the accessory? Why, the rubber bands, of course. Andrew Gerard has a use for the bands which provides a very clever misdirection as well as a delightfully deceptive presentation. Finally, this presentation leaves the participant with a very memorable souvenir.
Those who are afraid to do metal bending routines because they require an extensive about of practice and strength to get the work down smoothly will find this to be surprisingly easy to do. It's all explained in three 8.5" x 11" single sided pages of instructions. Also included is a single page with nearly two dozen color photographs that visually explain the whole thing in detail. Finally, you get some colored rubber bands and keys to practice the routine with. The only other item you'll need is a marker pen to write the initials on the key. This is a really good and extremely professional routine. Highly recommended.
