A big thank you to those who reviewed this work, I appreciate your thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions. They have made this a better piece.
This work is with the editor's at the moment for cleaning up on grammar, etc. For those curious about what this work is, Keys to Heaven capitalizes on the psychological relationship between people and their keys, allowing you to perform psychometry, 7 Keys to Baldpate, and other effects with either your own and/or borrowed keys. Plus it gives you an understanding to the hidden power behind the use of keys and how to empower your lock/key based presentations. Some may ask, "why get this if I already have (insert brand here) gimmicked lock?" While gimmicked locks are cheap to acquire they don't give you more than just a method. This ebook is more than just another method, routines and presentational angles are also addressed. While some will place value on either the scripting or the method, others will value the whole work, but everyone who reads it will find something from the work they like. Keys to Heaven should be finalized by the end of the week and as soon as I receive the document back the link will become live. The price will be $10.00 For those who want to know where it can be purchased, go to http://www.mentaltek.com my best, Walter P.S. Those who have reviewed the different drafts of this work, please post your comments here. |

Reviews? I don't need no stinkin' reviews for this.
The fact that Walter created it should already tell you what kind of reviews to expect. The caliber of his work is tremendous. Just waiting for a live link! |

As always, Walter's work is excellent. He very generously sent me a copy of this to check out a few weeks ago and the idea is very clever. I currently have a presentation using keys in my show and this method creates a very nice logical disconnect. After reading it, several other new ideas came to mind in order to use this in a variety of ways.
As Walter stated earlier, the use of keys can have a very personal and emotional hook, it should never just be an interesting puzzle on which key can open a lock. Please take advantage of the presentation that's given in "Keys to Heaven". Psychometry routines used to be about this personal and emotional connection/history with the object before the concept was trivialized by decades of tricksters. Great job Walter, looking forward to everything you'll be coming up with. |

Review: Keys to Heaven by Walter Davis from http://www.amirasideas.com
Walter Davis ( http://www.mentaltek.com/ ) is a very nice thinker that already had some products in sale such as "What the Flux" and "Face Reading for Mentalists". He enjoys yellow hats and writing while he drinks Coca Cola. His newest release is "Keys to Heaven". U$10 at http://www.mentaltek.com/mentalism-effec......ore.html Original description: Hard hitting impromptu mentalism that capitalizes on the psychological relationship between people and their keys, allowing you to perform psychometry, 7 Keys to Baldpate, and other effects with either your own and/or borrowed keys. My opinion: This 20 pages eBook starts with the credits to Annemann for the inspiration for Walter´s work. After this necessaries words we shares the main method. The method gives you that classic moment when you think "Why in earth I didn't think in that!!?". Is really simple and sneaky. This simple secret will allow you to create classic premises in mentalism using this lovely symbolic prop ( keys and locks). After the explanation of the psychology of the method, Walter shares 4 effects using the main method plus other touches. My favorite effect ,"Entering their Psyche", gives you a great idea about psychometry with keys. Rate: 9/10 In conclusion, 4 effects, 1 simple principle, for 10 bucks. Incredible thinking that don't only will teach you nice effects, but also will teach you the importance of psychology behind each method and the correct uses of logical disconnections. Awesome ideas Walter. Totally Recommended.

Good method! Its one of those things that makes me wonder why I didn't think of it. Very deceptive.

I have always loved this effect. I liked the Trickshop version that came out a few years ago, but Walter has eliminated much of the cumbersome nature of previous methods and provides a solution that really lets you focus on the premise and performance. He gives you the full method, a range of different presentations and premises with which to work. This is beyond clever and will be a real worker for those of you who like the plot. It seems to me that this would work for table, parlour, and stage.
This is ceratinly well worth getting! Best wishes Dr Todd |

One of the main sects of Tibetan Buddhism is the yellow hat sect (Gelugpa). They are certainly holders of esoteric secrets...
