Prepare to unlock a series of unusual events!

Imagine this: you hold a seemingly unremarkable necklace - which instantly becomes an ordinary key. Under your FULL control, the key and the chain begin a dance of impossibility-appearing, vanishing, transposing, and changing in your spectator's hands. But that's not all.

In the stunning finale, you gently place the chain with the key around your spectator's wrist. The key is then plucked from the chain and vanishes at your fingertips. You toss the now invisible key into the air, and to the spectator's astonishment, it appears landing securely on the chain still wrapped around their wrist. And everything is fully examinable!

Repo is a fluid, multi-phase illusion that is as deceptive as it is beautiful. The precision gimmick also goes beyond the key and chain - it is suitable to also make other small items appear and vanish, unlocking a world of possibilities.

What to Expect:

  • A seamless, multi-phase routine: Watch as a necklace and key engage in a series of magical transformations, each more impossible than the last.
  • A show-stopping finale: Magically remove a key from a spectator's wrist, make it disappear, then toss the invisible key into the air where it visibly locks itself back to the chain.
  • Versatile gimmick: Beyond the key and chain, use the same method to make other small items appear, vanish, and reappear for additional routines.
  • Perfect for close-up or stage: Whether in an intimate close-up performance or in front of a larger audience, Repo delivers high impact with minimal props.
  • Easy to perform, visually stunning: Learn the basics quickly, or reach a mastery level that will unlock a new cheat-code to break your spectators...
A single key opens the door to a series of extraordinary magical events! This is Tobias Dostal's Repo: A Chain of Unusual Events

The gimmicks and handlings for this are SO clever. You will definitely fry some minds with this trick. Just keep track of your angles, and this trick is easy to do.

Tobias Dostal is one of a kind. No exotic props here. Just an extremely creative and unique application of a rather old principle. I'm not into long reviews but this deserves a close look for all levels of magi. A T.O.T.Y. consideration, for sure! PLEASE, give this one all the practice it deserves! Extremely pleased with this release...

I got Repo in the mail a couple of days ago, and once I learned it, I immediately loved it. This trick comes with two routines; one has about 1000 possibilities, and the other you can just basically use for that routine. The instructional video is so amazing, and once you go out and perform it, it will amaze anyone, as long as you watch your angles. Speaking of angles, I will say it is a little bit tough to manage, but if you follow the advice in the instructional video, you will have no problem with it. even with the angles I still give Repo 5 stars. It is just that good. If you are on the fence about it, I would definitely suggest you buy it. I think the price is very fair for what you get. Repo comes with everything you will ever need, and you could even base a whole show on just this trick. Repo will amaze every time. I highly recommend it.
I hope this review helps!!

waaay too expencive Report this review

this is a great trick and a incredible visual moment. here are the pros and cons.


Pros. This is a great street trick if you are not surrounded. it is for the most part easy and fun to preform.


Cons: my gimmick was borrowed from my pal and his broke when i did exactly what the tutorial said to do. it snapped in half. I had to tape it ad buy a new one for him. whenever I try to do this trick in the new world it is spoded by someone trying to see it from the back. the angles on this trick are very hard to deal with manly because i preform magic to teens alot who are always trying to see the magic from the side or the back. it can be held out for examination with a easy method to make it a imposble object to be examined but not kept.


Price: this trick in the end comes out to 70$ (that extra 10$ is from shipping and tax.) when all it is is a cheap gimick. it is a good trick but is not worth 70$.

Good but... Report this review

I like the visual appeal but the tiny size of the props bothers me a little bit. If you want something similar without this problem, check out Anarkey by Jay Sankey.

I would have to say that about (unfortunately) 75% of all magic I purchase ends up in my big, unused drawer. You guys know that one. I don't leave bad reviews-but with something special, I'll take the time to write one. This is the single best purchase in magic I've ever made! Unlike one of the reviews-that complained about the price-I would say it's worth every penny! I'd give this ten stars if I could! This is beautiful, elegant and stunning effect! The gimmick is brilliant, and with a little practice, you will be amazed at the results you see in a mirror, you'll be fooling yourself with how incredible the vanishing chain/ key looks! GET THIS!

Tobias is a great teacher and so many routines. The price? You're paying for the Gimmicks and teachings. I don't think it's priced too high. I will be doing this trick for a long time!

When I first opened up my order I had the feeling of "What?", but as I viewed the download it was a kind of an epiphany! This is so good and clever I went back and bought another! The tutorial is fantastic and full of great tips and moves! This will take you from being a trickster, to being an artist!

Great Trick / Easy / Watch the small parts Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 9th, 2025
This is a great trick! I love this trick / easy to learn & perform. Follow the video instructions to avoid angle issues. Be extremely careful with the parts to this trick - very easy to loose (I am already buying a replacement since I list pieces)

Don’t let that warning scare you off though. This is a trick you will use.
