The Blurb

Mental Key Prediction enables you to astonish your audience by flawlessly predicting any four-digit number chosen at random by them, inscribed on the back of a wooden keychain, without any use of force.

Effect: The magician introduces a walnut wood key pendant with a key attached to it, and begins to tell an intriguing story. Four random numbers are called by the audience, which may even be an important date or time. The magician turns the keychain over to reveal the room number inscribed on the back of the wooden keychain, which perfectly matches the four random numbers.

The keychain can be handed to the audience for examination after the performance.

This complete set includes keys, gimmicks, reset tools, stickers, paper notepads, and other accessories for a total of 120 performances.

Jheff's Guide

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props

HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
The ad claims that you can hand out the keychain for examination after the performance. I’m not so sure of that. A close inspection may tip the method. I know it would for me if I looked at it closely enough.

SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The gimmick must be re-set and that takes a minute or so.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
One part of the gimmick is consumable and, when you run out, you have to contact TCC to obtain more.

SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour, Internet

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Though nicely made, as most TCC products are, I have issues with an integral part of the gimmick being consumable and available only from the manufacturer. The ad also claims that it can be handed out for examination, which I don’t feel should be done as eagle-eyed participant may well spot the unrealistic nature of the faux digital readout and, thus, the method. As such, unless you have a specific use for this, it is hard for me to enthusiastically recommend this.
