Effect

magicorthodoxy says...
This is a outside the box completely original style of thought trick I mean that's what you expect from Nicholas Lawrence that's what you're getting [...] it is very well made and I think a lot of people that have been noticing some of the key tricks that have been coming out lately one of their biggest complaints is the key isn't cut and they say you know as soon as I see a a key that's not cut I just you know think oh this is a gimmick
