Ignition by Chris Smith

Watch a real car key pass through a borrowed bill, sugar packet, or spectator’s sleeve—then show the object with no hole, rip, or damage. With Ignition by Chris Smith, the key and borrowed object can be handed out immediately for examination.

This close-up magic trick is designed for table hopping, performing on the go, or those spur-of-the-moment requests to “see something.” You can perform it surrounded, bringing the impossible moment right into the group.

• Everyday object: Ignition uses a real car key that can withstand close inspection, even by a locksmith.
• Three routines: Learn presentations with a bill, a sugar packet, and a shirt.
• Online instruction: Access an instructional video covering all three routines.
• Quick to learn: The handling is described as easy to learn in minutes, with a quick-start method for performing right away.
• Borrowed-object magic: The key penetrates a borrowed object, which appears undamaged afterward.

The contrast between an ordinary car key and an untouched borrowed object gives you a direct, memorable piece of magic to share at close range.
