Maximum Security by Magic Max, Mick Hanzlik

Before Mick Hanzlik released his Supalock c. 2004 he worked with Verne McCarthy at Magic Max to create the amazing “Maximum Security” padlock which works differently from any other lock I have seen. These were made in very limited quantities and only about 25 units were made.

You can use the lock for Seven Keys to Baldpate effects  and other effects where you want to control when the key opens and I’ve included a special box so you can fill it with cash or jewels.  Whoever picks the correct key wins the contents.  It certainly adds an extra bit of excitement into the proceedings.

Includes:

• Special Maximum Security lock
• Five different keys  any of which can or cannot open the box
• A special box that can store the lock and keys and everything else required and can also use the box as a lock box.  (bonus).
• Stage money that looks quite realistic even up close (bonus).

Once you understand the method you’ll find this easy to open and you will be able to make any key open the box on demand, but you have to read the instructions a few time and understand what is happening inside the lock.  It is not difficult but I found the instructions confusing and not strictly accurate.  I can provide a video to explain the movement.

Effect: David Penn, this years IBM British Ring Close-Up Champion, says, “MAXIMUM SECURITY is by far the most baffling lock effect that I have seen.” Florida’s Don Arthur says, “I’ve used them all, and this is the best.”

MAXIMUM SECURITY, by Verne McCarthy & Mick Hanzlik, devastates magicians and laymen alike. This totally new concept, a Magic Max exclusive, is fully under the control of the magician at all times! Its secret workings are absolutely undetectable. This lock and the 5 keys that come with it, will stand up to the closest inspection before, during and after its use! It looks like a perfectly normal padlock. It’s instantly ready to do again and again with no additional set-up. All 5 keys are cut differently. A spectator can play with it as much as they like, and never be able to open it! And yet MAXIMUM SECURITY will lock or unlock at any time the magician wants it to, with any of the keys!
