Antique Haunted Key

The "Haunted Key" illusion is a classic magic trick where a key, seemingly lifeless, appears to rotate or move in the palm of the magician's hand, despite being fully examinable. This version of the key has an old patina look to it for authenticity.

Can be used to detect the presence of spirits in spiritual bizarre magic, or can be used as a haunted item that has a "memory" of being turned to unlock a door, or can be a demonstration of energetic of telekinetic powers!

The first known reference to the "Haunted Key" magic trick was in 1935, though it's possible the trick existed before then. In 1935, Nate Leig was performing the trick, and Topps magazine published an article about it in 1937.

No invisible threads or additional gimmicks needed, just a solid metal key that is fully examinable and can be carried with you daily. Perfectly balanced to maximize the illusion and a great prop for storytelling.
