Why would you bend a key at all 🤪

I have used the Propdog keys and they work great. According to this trailer the keys provided with "The Bend" are easier to bend but that is not an issue for me. A question that is more important for my performances is how likely is it for a young man with normal strength to unbend a bent key? Also, I would like to know how likely it is for the gimmicked keys to snap and break during the bending procedure.

I have the first , second and third attempt of the propdog keys . Unfortunately they are difficult to bend by female spectators from my trials and even Daves admission . On the contrary an alpha male can bend them back and even snap them after the magic . Dave explains the problems he has had with these if you read the early thread on easy bend keys . Some keys work pretty well but they are very inconsistent as Dave had to change the key supplier and now he is stuck between a key that can’t be bent at all to a key that can be bent both ways . I don’t know whether James has cracked this but Dave by his own admission certainly hasn’t . Get the right spectator and you can get away with it but it’s by no means perfect and pot luck imo , I’m interested to see James improvements if any Gaz 🙂

The keys will never snap, you can fold the key in half, twist the key 180 degrees and will not break. They will if you used the same key multiple times, but you could probably use it 2 to 3 times max. (although that is not a guarantee amount of uses) |

So are the ungimmicked keys straight? To be examined before the bend?
Or are they pre bent? To be examined after the bend? |

So if you wanted to have the key examined beforehand to prove the hardness of the key, yes you can do that. Although usually just toss the key on a table to prove the solidity of the key then go into the bend, then switch at the end to prove how impossible it is. |

Once you bend a gimmicked key, can you give it to the participant as a souvenir (without switching it for a normal bent key) and be quite certain that they will not be able to unbend it when they try later at home? |

Yes it appears these are soft from start to finish , Dave Bonsall was pretty much trying to achieve the impossible and he so nearly done it .
His can be bent and then they can’t , the can’t bit always works . It’s just they are quite hard to bend in the first place if it’s a sleight female and you don’t tell them exactly how to attempt it . That’s what mine are like anyway , kind regards Gaz 🙂 |

Which was our fault and the ad needed to be revised. If you want the key to be examined (which we assume almost everyone would) or given to the spectator as a souvenir it does need to be switched out. |

We were trying to express that the key does not need to be switched before the bend. But we learned instead of trying to preserve a secret we should have just stated it needed a switch to be examined. |

The bottom line is this;
1. If it is to be examined at the outset, a straight un-gimmicked key must be employed in both cases. However, 2. If it is to be examined after the 'bend', an un-gimmicked bent key must be switched for JK III's product (but not for PropDog's). That is why JK III provides both straight and bent un-gimmicked keys while PropDog only provides the former. |
