Thanks David...... I had watched your video prior to posting, but I do appreciate your reply. UPDATE.... the "Just A Key" is no longer available from the commercial magic sales sites..... Thanks Again
great revue now if only I was still able to work and perform for my living On your recommendation I too would make it a carry effect♥♠♦♣ I hope it is never pirated
Hey David, I'm a tradesperson irl and magicians can cut their own keys by hand without power tools or with a simple Dremel tool. Just get the original key and copy the shape to the new key blank with a metal file or your griding tool and cutting disc on your Dremel. Practice a few times on a key blank or a piece of scrap metal and wear glasses and a dust mask so you dont hurt yourself. Hope that helps.
Every year my son and I do magic for our carnival. I don't have to decide what to buy this year because your reviews decide for me. Just wanted you to know how much we appreciate you.
David, I know I'm really late to the show. But I'm getting ready to order this! This has been on my radar every since you first reviewed it. Thank you, my brother, for the great review. Take care.
I just ordered Mon-Key yesterday because of you. I remembered your review last year and gave up after months of it not being in stock. Then there you were again reviewing it. Jumped right on his sight and bought it. I also went ahead and bought the Pendant. Cant wait for them to get here. Thanks for the review!!
Hello David, An informative video as always but please can you clear this query up once and for all. I’ve seen a couple of responses to the same query but it’s still it’s not been nailed down. Maybe it’s because the other key keeps being referred to as a switch out key rather than a duplicate. So, PLEASE once and for all can we know this. Can the gimmicked key be freely and completely inspected after the ring is moved from the outer to the inner hole? Forget about possible uses of the other key. What viewers including me are asking is can that same key be left with the spec with no chance of them working out the mechanism without the reset tool? That’s all I want to know and a clear and straight answer would be much appreciated considering the cost of the product. We could all buy 2 brass keys for a couple of bucks!
It is not clear from this review whether the gimmicked key is inspectable immediately after the key ring is moved through the holes in the key. He says it is, but if so, why does it come with a separate ungimmicked key to hand out, if you can hand out the gimmicked key?
Lot of people asking about that extra key. Wonder if you could use it to get some copies cut that you switch in and hand out to specs after the effect.
Hey Fantastic review and fantastic concept Behind the key We end up clean at the end is the real beauty... Do you know other magic props or tricks like Mon - Key, Where we can completely be clean at the end and the item is examinable and the spectators have no clue whatsoever👀
Looks very similar to "Just A Key" by Joe Porper..... Just a Key is a "Schlage" key with one hole at the top (no dividers) looks like it can do similar things. I know Joe Porper makes HIGH QUALITY tricks, most are well machined and their price reflect that. Just A Key is available on Murphys Magic site and also is $100.00 Anyone interested in Mon-Key should also look at Just A Key as well as other things that Joe Porper has done to see his workmanship BEFORE you make your decision. Hope this helps.
If they are holding the key and you say they can inspect it after the move, what is the inspectable key for? Keep up the great work on your reviews. Thanks David
Another great review. Dave thanks although I am mentalist , I like to get a good magic trick/book depending on what is. Your reviews help a great dealThanks!
Awesome review David thank you so much for the information I think I'll be purchasing this one. I'm like you I guess I don't like props .I like things that look natural like keys and a pen a wallet things that are easily accessible that people carry around everyday which makes the trick even more believable I believe but for a hundred bucks you'll never have to purchase another one. Thank you brother.
I love Jeff Prace. This guy knows magic. His products are amazing. Mon-Key is Absolutely amazing. I’m also excited because I’m getting his mystery gift this week. I can’t wait to see what that is. Of course like always the review is top notch
This is sweet! I guess it's nice you get an extra key.... but like David said you really don't need it. I've had this in my hand after a friend preformed and I could find $#!+... and trust me i tried. While I personally dont have $100 to spend on a magic trick , if you know what went into it and the time,energy,brilliance that went into this and how it works you will agree it is worth it if its fits into your budget....JUST AWESOME!!!
I'd be remiss if I didn't make a comment here about Jeff Prace's customer of Mon-Key. I purchased Mon-Key based on David's review. I needed to request some customer service from Jeff after doing so. Wow, I've had some great customer service within the magic community, but never as excellent as his. He way exceeded my expectations in his responsive and helpful reply, including making me a personalized video. So, know that if you get this excellent effect (which goes over very, very well), Jeff Prace has your back!
I know this is an older video , but I’m thinking of getting this eventually. I do have a question about this video; you say you can hand it out for inspection and the spectator will never find the secret, but then you say it comes with a regular key to hand out for inspection which you choose not to carry. Is this because you find that although there is something suspicious about the look of the key that they can see, they just can’t get it to work because they can’t reset it and you feel that is sufficient to fool them? Or in your experience do the spectators never mention the “suspicious” thing that is technically detectable during inspection?
the regular key is for inspection BEFORE the trick takes place - I went back to magifest 2 years later and Jeff sold out of this again and fooled magicians with it. I've even done it on tik tok
Do I have to use the keyring that comes with it, or can I simply stick the key on my normal keyring (which is generally in the same shape but is a bit larger)? And, do you have to take the key off it and only have the key and keyring, or can you simply leave the key on the keyring the entire time with all your other keys
I have the pendant and love it! David, is there a way I can pick your brain about your business card effect you mentioned in a prior video sir? I'd GREATLY appreciate it my friend!!
it's a dry maker trick - where they hold the business card upside down and circle a corner - the pen doesn't work and i've pre-circled it for them - so I know the suit and then I force a number and they end up with an imagined playing card that I then reveal
@@magicorthodoxy ohhhh, awesome! I have the "mentalism" sharpie with that tip built in. I will have to look into that! I'm on a mission to build the ultimate walk around set with all utility stuff that doesn't look "utility" it that makes sense... Thanks again!!
Do you think you could do a book review of Wandcraft - Making & Using a Magic Wand by Lawrence Hass and Judge Gary Brown? It looks very interesting and would love to hear your opinion on it!
Hi guys I know how it works but i did not buy until now because i would like to know... when the trick is over and it is „done“ - does it maybe wiggle a little bit or is it really good held in place?
One another thing - the colour?! There are silver and brass ones... i only can find the brass which is absolutely unusual in germany. Where to get a silver one?
Is this totally examinable? If you hand this out and the spectatator tries to move the ring through the gaps is it secure or is there a chance they could accidentally do it?
Hi Dave, I have been waiting for Jeffs key for months and months. I went to order and they are sold out. I just couldnt afford it when it came out. lasted a week. is there any way you would sell yours. even the old one would be cool for collectible but im hoping for the new one. I have waited so long to miss out sucks. I know probably foolish to ask but its worth the shot to me.
@@magicorthodoxy ohhh! Brilliant!! I love that you are so engaged in contact with your community, just another reason why I LOVE (& live by) this channel!! You should TOTALLY do a lecture! I'd 1000% buy/download/watch!!
Just finding out about this new as my passion for magic has been sparked again. They’re all currently sold out with no production date determined. Would anyone who has it willing to sell it to me? Willing to pay full original price. Lmk!
@@magicorthodoxy solid idea. I’ll touch base with him and see what he has to say. Thanks bud! Also, love your channel and what you do. Keep up the great work man. 👏🏼
Why I think the gimmick is alittle abvious that I think I need to switch it to inspection. The gimmick has a little gap on it. I think the gimmick can't be fully examable.
OK, Jeff finally re-opened the order window in Mid Feb and I almost missed it, caught it on the last day. HOLY !! I got this and the Penrose Pendant. This is some of the best EDC magic I think I have ever spent my money on. I had to write him just to tell him and I had to credit you for the sale :)
These reviews are a God send. Take it from someone that has spent thousands on tricks that are now sitting in a box. One hundred percent of my tricks are for family, friends and co-workers so bringing out some magic prop is kind of corny. I, similarly to you, like using normal every day and in my case examinable props. I spent the $100. Thanks

Love it, can't wait until Jeff has them back in stock so I can purchase it.
worth it !!
As a locksmith and a magician this looks really appealing! Ordered this on your recommendation, thanks so much for sharing it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Every year my son and I do magic for our carnival. I don't have to decide what to buy this year because your reviews decide for me. Just wanted you to know how much we appreciate you.

Awesome hi david thanks for another review😁
Hi !!!! Thanks for watching
@@magicorthodoxy always a great video and review thank you
Thanks for doing this review! I’m going to add to this my edc magic list. I’m always on the look out for good edc magic that isn’t just card magic.
Thanks for watching!
That is a cool effect. You always put out great reviews.
Glad you like them!
Looks great in brass, good point you made about it naturally aging. Thank you for the review 👍
Thanks for watching!
Another great review, man! This looks great... I had to get one, lol
Hope you enjoy it!

Perfect!
Good morning, David. TY.

of course, but I never even carry mine. It's 100% examinable afterwards
Doh !! Of course it needs a matching design ..fool that I am !!
Hey
Fantastic review and fantastic concept
Behind the key
We end up clean at the end is the real beauty...
Do you know other magic props or tricks like Mon - Key,
Where we can completely be clean at the end and the item is examinable and the spectators have no clue whatsoever👀
This is always in my pocket

If the spectator can inspect the gimmicked key and not find anything, why does it need a switch out?
it really doesn't - unless you want it inspected BEFORE
@@magicorthodoxy Ah ok. Thanks for the quick response.
