WOOT WOOT !!! Welcome aboard - JUST posted a new Member's Video today by Dai DaOrtiz !!!
You are very confident in your reviews. I am waiting for this to arrive, thanks David :)
Great review, Dave! I have been debating about this. I think I am going to pick it up. Nice review!
This seems like something you can throw into any act. Love it. Thanks for the review.
That prop is awesome! I could have it locking my back pack or a blow molded case for my tools, I like magic like this
Would love to see a review of Suckerpunch by Mark Southworth! Thanks for all you do 😎 so happy to be a member now!
Yes I’ve been wanting to see a review of sucker punch as well.
Also, did I miss where he talked about the negatives of dead lock? Usually even if he has nothing bad to say he will still mention it.
djkidkaz01 I guess the positives were so good, negatives never even entered into play! I did go back over the review and yeah, no negative section in this one. Sounds like a true recommend 😂😁
I think is first review where you didn't cover the negatives. This at the top of my buy list. I looks like a moment make. Thanks for putting it on the radar.
Michael, is a true gent. He will go out of his way to make sure you have the best customer experience.
I use it in a comedy chain escape routine where after I do a standard escape a spec gets locked in and their significant other uses a special date to release them. As a kicker I have removed my watch initially to get chained up and at the end the spec holding my watch notes the time it is at is the same as the date. It can be a five of ten min routine. Suffice to say I enjoy the lock 😋
The Magic Buzz Hi, that seems an interesting and Creative combination of effects. Thank you for Sharing. What is the Plot/reason to the spectators to Chain up your Watch in the First Place?
I have both Deadlock and Larry Lock. There are some good combinations (no pun intended) of tricks you can do using both locks together.
Great review, and nice ideas for the lock. Maybe follow it with the LOCKDOWN card trick.😊😊👍👍👍👍😊
Thw only lock I have used and I really like is the Dream Lock. It requires a lot of spectator management though. How hands off is this?
I got this at his stand in Blackpool, can't recommend it enough!
You just keep in on your keys and it fries people! x
That would work, I just have so much on my keys now, I look like a school custodian - LOL
@@magicorthodoxy Oh I bet! It was more a tip for future buyers! Anyways: keep it up!
FYI - I own Dead Lock and love it! You can have four digit numbers used besides birthdays. The lock comes in both U.S. and EU versions - important if you just use birthdays. FB group has great ideas, from other owners, for patter suggestions.
You can use any four numbers? I have a trick lock and whatever you set the first number the rest don’t matter. Is this pretty much the same?
...you can not use "ANY 4 numbers." If that were the case the spectator could always open it.
Don't want to reveal too much on a public forum, but four digit numbers beyond birth month and day can be used in your presentations. FB group gives you ways/outs to successfully get where you need to be to present this amazing effect.
...What if you have them try a random number to unlock it and you don’t want that number to work...do you have to somehow guide them so that they pick something like, “6752” or, “1427”? In other words, what if the number they select to try first, (where you do not want it to open), just so happens to be a number that translates into a date, (i.e., 0927, 1118, 0228, etc.)? Is it going to pop open in that instance?
If so, does the teaching video cover outs for that or a means of guiding the spectator without it seeming that is what you’re doing?
Yes, plus you could always ask "before you open it, what number did you pick? Do you think that was a random number? Totally? Let's make it even more random..."
@@magicorthodoxy I was wondering about this and this patter seems easy enough to utilize. Yet again, thanks!
Could they accidentally get a 'unlock' code while looking at it ?
I guess anything is possible, but you script it in such a way that they don't
Hey David, thanks for your reviews.
Can you please make a review on LOCKDOWN - By Manoj Kaushal
can I have a group of people pick among 5 written down combinations or more leaving me the only one that works.. "9 keys one lock" trick I'm thinking of has the lock on a 100.00$ bill holder.
that wouldn't be sure fire, someone "might" guess the right combination of 4 numbers by accident
Hi dave great review ones again.
I have a Question about the gimmick so if you can ubswerd me by PM will be great if is whats I think I will buy thay Lock if is not next step thank, s for the review ones again and your time
Haha nice review I thought it said dread Lock
@@magicorthodoxy haha nice one,dead-shot is one of my favourites
I’m inclined to prefer Key-R-Rect as a lock effect over this one, simply because matching a numerical combination seems “too perfect” to me, thus leading the audience to the only one - and accurate - conclusion on how it works. Even if the precise details aren’t known to the audience, their hunch will focus on the lock, and not necessarily on the skill of the performer. It would be like a mentalism act producing what looks like a photocopy of the spectator’s drawing versus a rough version potentially derived through thought, sound, or hand movement. Key-R-Rect invites the game of chance, slight of hand, influence, or other potential methods involving some skill on the part of the performer versus solely a clever gimmick. I feel that mentalism effects, when presented under circumstances that are too perfect, are sometimes not as strong as those that leave more room for uncertainty and might therefore be more deceptive.
I wasn’t a fan of deadlock. I got it awhile ago. Just wasn’t for me. But if you have a use for it, then it will defiantly work for ya
Why you have 35.000 subs and not more than 5000 calls?
LOL oh ... magic reviews and deck reviews are very a select crowd, I'm never going to go viral
Should remember to say there is American date and UK date locks...
This review has one major bit of misinformation in it - you cannot just hand the lock to ANYONE and have their birthday or randomly thought of date open the lock. (This lock is designed for them to intuit a date YOU are thinking of) I have to be cryptic to preserve the method.
Michael Murray from the video "...any date within the year ... date and month as a four digit number ... so no matter whose date of birth .. or what date and month..."
@@magicorthodoxy I could somehow be mistaken, but I own this and there are certain dates that just won't open the lock. So how can you have *anyone's* birthday open the lock?
I've revisited this and it's possible to do this with any spectator and any date, but you can't just hand them the lock and have it open. You have to have them think of their birthday or any date, then "read their mind" and reset the lock "to that date". Then you can have them try the date they're thinking of in the lock, and it will open.
