Hi Café members!
We are proud to finally release our effect called The Bend! The Bend is the simplest key bend you will ever perform. James Kellogg Jr. has created a new key bend. The Bend is an effect that is completely under your control. This unique method requires no need to worry about temperature control to bend the key. The magician shows a straight key and without any sleight of hand, you instantly bend a key. It is that simple. Supplied with The Bend: • Online Instructions • 20 gimmicked Keys • 6 Ungimmicked Keys Feel free to ask any questions! Would love to answer anything! James |

Hi. My question is after using the 20 gimmicked keys, could a proficient DIY person make their own refills? I am not a professional magician, but I perform quite a bit, all charity. I'd be happy to buy it the first time, but I can't justify spending the big bucks every time I run out of gimmicks.

Why 6 ungimmicked keys?

The keys are well made, high quality and easy to bend. James also included 6 regular keys you can hand out for examination.
Unfortunately the ad copy really needs adjusting to be more accurate and deliver on expectations. MoM have rewritten it here https://www.magicshop-deals.com/products/bend-james-kellogg Hope this helps Dominic

I have a bunch of PropDog 'Easybend' keys, which seem to be the same thing, at a fraction of the price! They also look more like the door keys we use in the UK. I'd be interested to know if there is any difference in the effect.

HI maklakmak
There is no effect taught. You just get the keys and a very short video showing you how easy they are to bend, and that you get 20 gimmicked and 6 regular keys. There's no new routine, presentation, or technique included. Having said that I've complained about it so hopefully they may reshoot the video to include something new. Hope this helps Dominic

Just as a reference to how easy our keys bend my 2 year old son can bend these. We give ungimmicked 'hard keys' to be examined when switched out. Cheers, James |

We understood that the previous description could come off misleading and have changed since then. Your description is correct. Cheers, James |

I just got my 20 propdog keys the other day & 2 non gimmick keys all I can say is this is incredible & I will be ordering many more ! The key bends easily & will not bend back which makes this the perfect key bend for me .

These look to be exactly the same as the propdog ones.

Pegasus asks if the PropDog keys are cheaper. The answer is yes - at much less than half the price. You can buy them individually if you want (which to me is an advantage) but if you want 20 'Easy Bend' keys and one rigid key, the cost would be just £31.05. I'm guessing this later product might sell better if purchasers could specify the number of keys wanted.

My earlier comments notwithstanding, I'd be tempted to give this product a try if it were not necessary to order a minimum of 26 keys!! As explained on its website, PropDog's first batch of 'Easy bend' keys was made from a special steel alloy which is no longer available to it on the same financial terms. Consequently, changes were made but the product still works extremely well and I am very satisfied with it, especially as I can order keys individually. However, if James Kellogg III's version, which can be bent by a two year old, uses a superior alloy then that might justify the considerable price premium? I would just like the opportunity to trial it with say a half dozen or a dozen keys. I am certainly not going to lash out more than £70 just to compare the two.
