One of my favorite go-tos (via keychain) back in high school was Departure by Chris Smith. Super low profile, and at a glance, someone even thought I had my own car. (Which I did, but I keep my car keys separate.) Over the years, the house broke, and I couldn't get it back together. I upgraded to RFR, and I hate how bulky it is. I have a vest to carry my effects when I go out to perform, and it's in an inside pocket. It's still great, but just too bulky for my keychain.
Thanks Craig - I own 90% (gate keeper on the way) of these and had forgotten some! Been looking to get back into some of this and this has re-inspired me - love key tricks.
I knew this would be an epic video! Please do more wallet and keychain effect videos. Here are some of the Key effects I own: Keymaster by Craig Retty Ignition by Chris Smith Freakey by Greg Wilson Shift Key Key Deposit by Jay Sankey Tight Spot by Jay Sankey Melting Key Celebrikey by Matthew Wright The Key Wayne Dobson Key Chain Fobs and other effects I own: Ghost Tag by Peter Eggink Blistering by James Anthony Titan's Finger by Titanas Sansminds Mini Sharpie Tag-O-Magic by Cameron Francis Tagz by Russ DeSimone and Eddie Bedrick Currently on my keychain, Keymaster and Blistering!!! Plan to pick up Gate Keeper, Hide A Key and Monkey soon! Florida keys is an execllent routine with normal keys, another great routine with normal keys is Potential Key-ller by Oscar Melendez! I love the idea that Gate Keeper matches Key Master! I'll look forward to other key effects from you!!!
YOUR SON ON AGT-wow nice performances, we can clearly see the REAL MAGIC is how proud you are of your son. Beautiful feeling and we all felt it.....congrats.
Great choices. I would add "Fair Play" by Steve Haines. It is a Free Will effect on steroids. BTW it was great to see how proud you were of Ryland on AGT yesterday. Too bad he was eliminated. He deserved to go on.
Useful tip for Ignition if you're scared of losing the part, I use orthodontics bands (bite coin bands) and strap the extra piece to the key. Peel it off in your pocket before you bring out your keys!
I have Ignition on my key ring. I keep it in a thumb drive case that goes on my key ring. I bought the case at Office Depot. I sent my idea to Chris Smith who invented Ignition and he liked my idea and was going to get it for himself. I also have Mon-key on my key ring.
I have both as well. I keep Ignition on my keychain, but I keep the "extra" in a separate spot/pocket. Are you keeping both pieces of Ignition in the Thumb case or just the extra?
Thanks for the recommendations!!! I love your “top trick” videos! After watching these I spend enormous amounts of time trying to find who sells these tricks! Would really love if you posted links to the shops to purchase them. Even without the links, thanks for all your hard work in putting these videos together! 😊
Most of these tricks are not self-contained and will require a pocket to keep extra bits; apart from Fob, they all do. It is an excellent idea to use your keyring as an additional pocket, but it is not a self contained carry.
I just Googled "colored aluminum key blanks" and found several sellers. You could sand the color off one side and have a silver/color paddle, although you might have trouble removing the color from the little nooks and crannies. Otherwise just get plain aluminum blanks and find something to color them with (nail polish?). You probably don't want to have the blanks cut. The teeth on one side might make the paddle move too obvious.
Yes! Keymaster, Gatekeeper, Finders keypers with Colin Cloud's prediction adaptation are my faves. However I have to be careful w finders keypers as tge welds holding the battery break very easily so that fob is carried in a plastic card box to avoid crushing it in my pocket! Handy tip.
