How do you guys think of this routine?
Is it easy to reset?

By the way, long time no see everyone!
Will keep posting since now.

Hello Michael,
This effect is awesome!! Get it you won't be sorry! It's one of my best carry at all times effect...easy reset.
I give it Five stars*****!
Gerard

Thanks a lot Gerard!
So it includes a key-bending type gimmick?
I would like what is included, or only the booklet?

Michael Lam

It comes with istructions and keys. Can't beat the price for this awesome effect!
Gerard

He said we can use any key.
So how could we bend it without the gimmick?

I have some bending gimmicks already though, still asking because wanna know if we don't actually need a gimmick to bend the key.

Michael Lam

You do not need a special key bending gimmick. Buy it you won't be sorry!
Do a search for it at the Café...you will see how great this effect really is!!
Gerard

I agree with Gerard. This is brilliantly routined magic or mentalism (whichever your style is). The magic that occurs makes sense and flows nicely. You can easily just do one of the effects or all three. Two of the three effects are absolute KILLERS! And the other one is self-working. Some of the really strong points are that the key is SIGNED, no sleeves are required (you could do this in your swimsuit), they get a souvinor, and it is a full routine that really fools.

To answer your other question, the reset is automatic with one note, you will need another key because you will give away a key as a souvenior each time.

Hope this helps.

Gerard,

Where you bought yours ? I bought it but there is no key included !!

Keys are not included. You need to use your own and pick some up from a locksmith. I got about 100 for free. Just ask.

2003 user, your absolutely right! It does not come with keys! I used one of my keys. Had to buy the other blanks and had them cut.
Gerard

You can easily get keys from a locksmith for free, but I can't find the type of keys that will work (owners will understand). It comes with a keychain that will hold a prediction, a second keyring (all ungimicked), and some tags to put on the keys (for spectators to keey as a souvenier). I still need some good keys to do it, but it is an awesome idea.

Brian

One of the best key routines I've ever seen.Well worth the money.
Richard Lyn

I prefer doing the key prediction only . The routine comes with 3 great routines. Do all 3 or just pick one you like
Great stuff here !!

Guys..... reading all your post make me sure to get one of this product soon!
I hope it is really great from what you're talking here.....
cool!

How would you compare the impact on an audience of the key bending effect of this item with the key bending effect of Guy Bavli? A key bending is a very strong effect and therefore do you think that the Guy Bavli method is stronger and more direct that Archangel? Finally, would you recommend only doing one of the suggested routines of this item as opposed to doing all three?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

MI

The effect on the spectator probably would be similar, a signed key bends in their hand. I think the biggest difference is that with Archangel, the key is very clearly shown normal before going into the spectator's hand, and when they open their hand the key is bent. With Bavli's this is not possible. The key must be half way hidden from view while held by the magician. But if you do Bavli's bend quickly, you could produce a similar look as Archangel. Both Bavli's and Bengston's will do the job and I believe appear the same to a spectator.
I really like Bavli's, but Archangel is the best I've ever come across.

I hate the silly key ring you get to hold the prediction so I went to pets mart and got a dog collar tube that holds a strip of paper rolled up, its anodised aluminum and looks great.

If you would like to upgrade the keychain that comes with archangel I have the magicians leather keychain coin holder still available. 7.00 shipped free in the US. This is great for holding coins but you can use it for the Archangel prediction note. Email me for a picture of the holder. magicbyswh@aol.com
