MENTAL LOCK / LOCK OF DESTINY

Mentalists and Magicians - are you looking for the perfect routine using a combination lock number? Your search is over!

With MENTAL LOCK, a wedding ring are locked onto a combination padlock.

A borrowed ring is locked on a 4 digit combination brass lock, the dials are mixed by the magician and the spectator can hold on to the lock while the dials are mixed and spectator can test a few times that the lock cannot be opened. The spectator is asked to concentrate on a specific century in history. They chose the 20th Century (1900-1999), but this works with any century.
The spectator then FREELY CHOOSES a specific year in that century.
When the spectator dials the tumblers to those numbers- THE LOCK OPENS!
But wait- there's more!
The spectator is asked if he would have chosen a different number.
He speaks that number out loud- then tries the lock again.
IT OPENS!
And yet, if the tumblers are placed in ANY OTHER POSITIONS, the lock remains locked!

Spectator retrieves her ring from the lock in the end. There is no need to force any pre-conditioned numbers such as someone's year of birth, anniversary or birthday.

You can do either of the following:
1. Ask spectator to name ANY 4 digit number
2. Tell the spectator you are going to project the secret 4 digit number to her mind and have the spectator name it.
3. Have 4 different people name a single number each to form a 4 digit number. (This plays big on stage) Whatever numbers the spectators have chosen, they put the numbers and open the lock with their own hands!

So think about this for a second.
This lock can be set to open at thousands of different tumbler combination.
This lock can be handled by the spectator during the effect.
And this lock can even open TWO OR MORE different compbinations during the same routine!It seems impossible!
But there is no force of any 4-digit pre-set numbers!

Nothing is added or taken away- except maybe your spectator's breath!
