Magician Key Trick Explained

Elsewhere on the internet, there is a young man demonstrating a trick to transform a non-operating key into an operating key for door locks. He uses Lysol and alkaline water to perform the illusion. Gene explains how this magician's trick is performed and actually gives two different versions. Enjoy the out-takes at the end.

Glad to see this video, it defended me when I explained the same 2 exact methods you demonstrated, because they didn't believe until we seen your video.

That’s great! Glad we could help.

[@BGB17]

Great video

[@StarfleetLockSafeInc]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I literally just seen that black kid do this on Facebook and didnt believe it and come to youtube to find something about it and I found this. Hahaha

[@StarfleetLockSafeInc]

Glad we could help debunk this for you! He made it look pretty believable didn’t he?!

[@BigMike86]

I looked even closer into it and realized be used 2 different keys. If u stop the video on both keys as he holds each of them up, you can see they are not only completely different keys but cut completely different.

[@halfb8bel]

I already knew he had a second key

[@StarfleetLockSafeInc]

Good work! Glad you noticed that too!

The guy that did it on Facebook actually somehow didn’t do any of these. He had a different knob. The knob in this video is turned when a key is used so those button keys you see at public single use restrooms. but the guy in the other video had a knob that you would have on your front door. And as most know, those locks won’t turn with any key especially when unlocked. But this one, the whole knob turns, not just the lock. Also the guy in the video literally dumped everything out the cup. He didn’t reach in to get a different key. Also he even showed the inside of the cup and had the other cup facing upside down.

Thanks for the tip for fronting off the dude using the LYSOL sc am. He probably thought it was going to generate a million views or more😜ha ha Thanx

[@StarfleetLockSafeInc]

Stephen, we had friends asking us about this when it was super popular, just wanted to debunk it!

[@CamdenBloke]

Did people think that this was real?! It's a fun magic trick, but yeah.

[@StarfleetLockSafeInc]

We have had many Locksmith friends who have worried customers who are very concerned after watching the original video.
