Security Lock (T-260) by Tenyo

Another release from Tenyo, this one was designed by creative genius Lubor Fiedler. A plastic credit card is inserted into a slim wallet-like case which is fastened with a padlock. The spectator is unable to remove the card as it is locked in place. However, without unlocking the lock, the performer can remove the card easily.

As with several other lock effects, this one is not routined with any Seven Keys type of plot. It can be implemented as such. All you need to do is use a suitably-sized lock and go into the Seven Keys effect after removing the credit card. A small combination lock such as Alan Wong’s Dream Lock would be quite suitable. You can have the spectator examine the numbers on the credit card she just removed and select some digits from the card to open the lock.

Effect: A spectator inserts a credit card into a case by himself. The moment the magician makes a magic wave, the spectator is unable to remove the card! When the magician goes back to the case, he is able to slide out the card with no difficulty. This is the latest release from Lubor Fiedler! The props look and feel absolutely ungimmicked, yet allow you to perform this engaging and baffling magic effect with ease.

Remove the card from the locked box, and allow your viewer to examine everything carefully. Ask him to insert the card into the box. Wave the lock with a magic gesture. Suddenly, it is impossible for your viewer to remove the card from the case! When you retrieve the box from your audience, you are able to easily remove the card. Alternate performance from Toru Suzuki is included. The magician show a transparent green with a “Magician’s club” credit card inside. Both the sleeve and the credit card have a hole punched in one side. The magician show that the credit card can slide freely back and forth in the sleeve. The magician then takes a padlock and secures the credit card inside the sleeve. Even though the two items are locked together, the magician can remove the credit card from the sleeve even though the lock is still locked. The items can be passed out for inspection.
