Effect

TCC’s Spirit Slates is a keychain-based magic trick where a small, seemingly ordinary key fob transforms to reveal a prediction or chosen item. The spectator sees a blank or unrelated object on the keychain at first, but when they inspect it again, it has changed to match their selection—often a signed card, word, or symbol. The effect is quick, visual, and leaves the audience questioning how such an impossible transformation could happen right in their hands.

Full Details

The trick consists of a specially designed keychain that allows for a clean, gimmick-free appearance. The method is self-contained, requiring no additional sleight of hand or extra props. It is designed for practicality, making it easy to carry and perform anytime, anywhere. The keychain can be examined before and after the transformation, adding to the mystery.

Who Should Consider the Trick

TCC’s Spirit Slates is ideal for:

Close-up magicians who want a portable, impromptu effect.
Workers who perform walkaround or table-hopping, as it fits naturally into key-based routines.
Mentalists looking for a subtle yet powerful prediction reveal.
Beginners and professionals alike, due to its straightforward handling and strong impact.

Difficulty

The trick is easy to perform, with minimal practice required. There are no complex sleights or difficult moves, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels. The method relies on the clever design of the keychain rather than technical skill, so performers can focus on presentation.
