Effect
Hi-Key Plus is a visual and interactive card trick where a spectator freely names any key from a set of keys (such as gold or silver). The magician then makes the chosen key vanish from the set, only to reappear in an impossible location—like tied into the magician’s shoelace. The effect is clean, surprising, and leaves no room for suspicion.
Full Details
Hi-Key Plus is an upgraded version of the original Hi-Key trick by Chris Rollins. The method is simple to execute but produces a strong magical moment. The trick uses a small set of keys (typically gold and silver) and requires minimal setup. Only 100 units were produced, making it a limited-edition release. The trick is self-contained, meaning no additional gimmicks or complicated moves are needed beyond what is provided.
Who Should Consider the Trick
This trick is ideal for magicians who perform close-up or walk-around magic. It works well in casual settings, such as parties or social gatherings, where quick, visual magic is effective. Because of its simplicity, it’s also a good choice for beginners looking for a foolproof trick with a strong impact.
Difficulty
Hi-Key Plus is rated as easy to perform. The method requires no advanced sleight of hand, making it accessible even to those new to magic. The trick relies more on presentation than technical skill, so performers can focus on engaging their audience rather than worrying about difficult moves.
