Dream Lock by Alan Wong - Trick

Imagine a borrowed ring secured to a brass combination lock, then let your spectator name any four-digit number. They set the digits themselves and open the lock, revealing the ring. With Dream Lock by Alan Wong, the number can be freely chosen rather than tied to a birthday or other preset date.

• Free choice of number: Ask one spectator to name any four-digit number, or have four people contribute one digit each.
• Spectator opens the lock: Your participant sets the chosen digits and opens the lock with their own hands.
• In their hands: The spectator can hold the lock while you mix the dials and keep hold of it through the performance.
• Brass combination lock: A borrowed ring is locked inside, giving the revelation a personal, memorable finish.
• Quick reset: The lock resets in two seconds, even under a spectator’s observation.

Use the four-person version for a stage presentation, or invite one participant to make the choice in a closer setting. The freely named number and hands-on ending give the audience a clear moment of shared astonishment.
