The Magician asks to borrow a spectators finger ring and promises to 'keep it safe' As soon as he is given the ring, he locks it onto a brass combination padlock. The magician reassured the spectator that its nothing to worry about, the ring is totally protected as even he, does not know the combination! DOH!!!
The spectator can try and guess what it is! The magician explains that the padlock is a 'Psychic lock' and whoever holds it already unconsciously knows the combination! He tells the spectator to try their year of birth. When they try that date (they never have to reveal it to the magician) The lock snaps open!
This hand made professional quality gimmicked padlock allows you to present a huge range of effects, with no sleight of hand.
THE PADLOCK CAN BE SET IN SECONDS! NO FORCING IS REQUIRED!
YOU COULD HAVE THE COMBINATION BE:
A spectators private year of birth
The first four numbers of a private phone number
An important year in the spectators life
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Is Locked for Life easy to do?
Yes! It sets up in an instant. You don't need to touch the padlock once its in play. Just hand it to the spectator and have THEM lock it onto the ring if you prefer. The detailed instructions will have you ready to perform this effect within minutes of recieving your padlock!
Do I have to use forces, peeks, or other methods to know the correct combination?
Nope! You don't need to know the combination! They can try to guess the combination and open the lock as much as they like, with little success, then you can reveal to them that they have known the correct combination all along!
