Magic Review - Scotch and Whiskey by Tom Elderfield

[@nancyanderson5320]

I am so excited about this review. David we appreciate your comments on the product, and yes this one is a “must have”, this is brilliant. Like many of us, the scotch and soda set was my first coin trick, and now using keys. Well made props and I can carry everywhere.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@donpepe9947]

David thank you for confirming my purchase. I got on board right away and waiting for my set to arrive. Glad I did and can't wait!😊😊😊

[@magicorthodoxy]

awesome

[@carlpowers7291]

I definitely want this. I had a couple of scotch and soda’s by the same company and it’s so good that when I had gone from two to one it somehow got mixed up with a pile of change and I’m still walking around slamming coins onto a tabletop looking for it.

[@magicorthodoxy]

I know that feeling

[@keithwolfe-festivalandstreet]

Heard! I will say though the first scotch and soda set I bought I lost the bag ring to, I find it two months later on a side walk in San Francisco's mission district. That was a mind blowing moment. Smilesotheylikeyou

Man, was I bummed out when I missed the first run of this. And just before I saw an advertisement for Scotch and Whiskey, I was watching one of Craig Petty's videos on organic EDC magic. He mentions key magic like Ignition, or his own Gatekeeper effect which is also a key. I thought "man, Scotch and Whiskey would be so much fun to have and bust out at work. It would be more surprising than my usual break room card stuff. Though I still feel most at home with cards. 😅

[@magicorthodoxy]

agreed

[@duanedow1261]

Still waiting on mine too. Supposed to be shipping anytime…. Thanks for another great review!!

Hi David. I heard you say at the 6:00 minute mark that the Deluxe edition comes with 2 sets of gimmicked keys but actually the website says it only contained 1 gimmicked key. Awesome review! I cannot wait for mine to arrive.

[@magicorthodoxy]

should have said an additional gold and silver key and an additional key ring

[@JimHathyMagician]

I have the Deluxe set, and it is only one gimmick

[@patrickdutton6056]

That really fooled me when you showed both sides of the keys 🔑 wow impressive ! Thx For the vid David

thanks !!!

[@cart6069]

Thank you for the review David, so looking forward to get this (before Christmas?) The minute I saw this on world magic review I lost my key concerns (and the money in the process) 😅 But as you mentioned- a bottle of Whiskey is empty so quickly- THIS can be with you for a lifetime (and with no hangover to fear).

[@magicorthodoxy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@michaelprincipato9980]

Love the member section.

[@magicorthodoxy]

[@kyleleon85]

I just received my set and I think the props are beautiful. The only negative I see right off the bat is that the gimmick, when nested, is quite thick for a key. It is literally twice as thick as the brass normal key you receive.

[@magicorthodoxy]

perhaps, but it's only a visual thing, you don't let the spectator hold it or compare it with other keys

[@kyleleon85]

@@magicorthodoxy I do agree with this.

[@berkleyalcorn7409]

FYI, I have been trying to sign up on the Hanson Chien website to be notified when the next batch is available. The link is not working. I emailed the company, no response yet.

Another great review of a good looking trick,your so.open an honest that's what's so important ,thumbs up 👍

[@TseMingKit1]

Which set (standard or delux) do you prefer? Many thanks

[@magicorthodoxy]

well, I only have the 1

[@torokkuroi6928]

Can I replace the key ring with my own ring? Can I place other items on the same ring? Or do I need to just connect their ring to my own key ring and then remove before performing?

[@magicorthodoxy]

i'd say yes to both

[@brandonwade7551]

Would you choose scotch and whiskey over hide a key?

[@magicorthodoxy]

they both do different things = combine them for a killer routine

[@jameswebb8338]

This seems to be very similar to Hide A Key by Chris Rawlins? I have and have performed Scotch and Soda, Ultimate Silver and other coin magic. Thanks David!

[@magicorthodoxy]

thanks for watching

[@theovladimir]

Hi David. How can I order this? I've tried to click the link in the description, but sold out. Is it possible to order this from another seller?

[@thecraft0490]

What's a better purchase: Hide-a-Key or Scotch and Whiskey? I want to grab one but which 🤔

[@magicorthodoxy]

both good (I think this one is better) but buy the one that works for your wallet

[@thecraft0490]

@@magicorthodoxy thanks Dave. I know u said u liked Hide a Key as well so I was curious which you would lean towards. That helps. Thank you

[@windwrightmage]

I love everything about this. I really want to buy one I just can't afford it right now at $100. I would say it's price is a little steap considering a Scotch and Soda gimmick will cost you about $20. Off topic if you get the chance would you be willing to do a review for How To Read Minds Kit #2. I saw your review for the first HTRM kit and I got that one but I can't find a good review outthere yet for the HTRM kit #2. Thank you and have a blessed day.

[@magicorthodoxy]

i'll review it soon

[@davidjames815]

But Is The Key Thicker Or Look Thicker Then A Normal Key When The Two Are Together ?

[@magicorthodoxy]

does not look thick at all

[@johnbauman4005]

A small correction and tip for those who may still be in the market for a Scotch & Soda set. Some manufacturers did try to improve on it and imho failed miserably although these alternative versions are still being sold. The older version locks tightly and is more examinable. The newer version does not fit tightly such that one part rotates and even spins freely in the other part and can't be handed out. This flaw could be fixed with a minor design change but I have been unable to persuade a manufacturer to work on it. In theory it could fix a discrepancy in the original as well. Anyone who has had a coin collection as a kid (or adult) knows the fronts and backs of U.S. coins are stamped 180° from one another - when you are looking at the heads side rightside up, the tails side is upside down and vice versa. No version accounts for this and the assembled gimmick has this tell. Now I know it is hard to argue with 50+ years of success with the original construction, BUT if further improvement is possible, why not? So if you don't hand out the assembled gimmick either current version will work, and the reset is quicker with the newer version. Otherwise, I'd "stick" with the original. The key obviously doesn't have these problems and is a wonderful advance. Great review!

[@giomagician16]

Hey david great review, i lked this trick a lot because of the fact that it is an EDC trick but i was wondering if is it a similar to hide a key? or could u tell me whats the difference without spoiling a secret? thanks!

[@herofire7949]

Hide a key doesn't lock, scotch and whisky does, as well scotch and whisky can be handed out after the effect

[@davidclarkson1094]

Great review as usual David. Never disappointed when I watch your reviews. I swear we have the same taste/brains when it comes to Magic (must be the name 😉). Keep on with your wonderful work 👍♣️♦️♥️♠️

[@rogergrant8865]

Would this be good for beginners?

[@magicorthodoxy]

yes !!!

[@paulksicinski6181]

Another reviewer mentioned the only down side is the gaffed key's sides are very thin and can easily bent as an every day carry. What is your take on such a comment?

Hi David. I already saw multiple reviews for this product but this is the first time that I saw up-close the back portion of the s**ll together with the G/S key. Before, I assumed that the gap is invisible just like the "magic matchstick". But based on the clip on your review, the gap is visible. Anyways, I hope mine will arrive before Christmas as promised. 😊

[@magicorthodoxy]

you gotta "really" look close - and in a lower lighting area it would be virtually indetectable

[@jedM123]

@@magicorthodoxy I agree. Maybe I noticed the gap because I was looking for it. But for the layman, what they are looking for is the vanished key. So maybe they will not really notice the gap.

The only thing I didn't like is the bang r.... it is hard to go from table to table to perform.
