Magicians: Swiss Knife
ONE KEY, INFINITE POSSIBILITIES
Swiss Knife: a versatile multi-tool that originated in Switzerland. Imagine having an everyday carry item that functions like a Swiss Knife but is bundled with tons of miracles that are easy and fun to perform-right in YOUR POCKET! That is what Swiss Key is all about.

Extremely Thin Gimmick
NEW MILESTONE IN MAGIC HISTORY
The Swiss Key is not only versatile but also extremely thin, measuring just 2.1mm in thickness, making it one of the best gimmicked keys ever released in the magic community.

CNC & Hand-assembled
THE TOP-TIER MANUFACTURING LEVEL
Each Swiss Key is carved all up in a solid block of stainless steel with CNC and handcrafted to look just like a real key in your pocket.

Two superb minds - Nicholas Lawrence and Hanson Chine have joined forces to create a versatile, self-contained magical EDC for every magician.

Expertly Engineered by Calvin Liew
After the success of engineering Scotch & Whiskey, Calvin embarked on his next adventure and once again succeeded in developing Swiss Key, which is most versatile and realistic gimmicked key on the market.

"I've always wanted to have a gimmick key that could allow me to perform many things with just one single gimmick. I've never came up with something that cool as Swiss Key! I can't stop performing this since i got this in Blackpool!"
- Julio Montoro - Creator of Leviosa

"Another perfectly made everyday carry from Hanson Chien Production. The gimmick is flawless and has so much potential, love it! (Going right next to my Scotch & Whiskey)"
- Tom Elderfield - Creator of Scotch & Whiskey

"A very well made item that's fun to use. Let your imagination run with ideas. So much is possible."
- Angelo Carbone - Creator of Demi Deck

Designed for bill penetration but more... With Swiss Key, you are able to perform a superb realistic bill penetration effect with ANY CURRENCY borrowed bill including polymer one. The best part? You can invite your spectator to restore the bill at their fingertips.

Crispy Tearing sound
EVERY DETAIL MATTERS
What makes professional magicians love Swiss Key a lot is its attention to detail. With its ingenious gimmick design, not only does it look so real, but it also creates a tearing sound when pulling the bill out, further selling the illusion.

Effect 1: Bill Penetration - One Key Suits All Styles
Nothing can hold you back. You can perform with any borrowed currency, whether it's paper-based or polymer, even a signed bill. Variant Presentation Handlings.

Effect 2: Gravitation - Balancing Act With A Borrowed Bill
With Swiss Key, you can even alter the gravity, placing the key on the edge of the bill and defying gravity.

Effect 3: Signed Coin To Anywhere - Undetectable Miracle
Swiss Key is versatile gimmick; it can help you vanish any quarter and make it reappear wherever you like. The best part? Spectators can clearly hear the coin sound.

Effect 4: Static on Spectator's Hands - Invisible Force
What better magic than having the spectator perform the illusion? You place the key and borrowed bill in the spectator's hands, and the spectator grabs the key. Then, an invisible force pulls the bill together.

Effect 5: Vanishing Key - Classical Magic Gem
Remember the vanishing bottle, pen? Imagine performing the same illusion with Swiss Key. The spectator can feel the key wrapped in the bill and magically vanish the moment you scramble the bill.

Effect 6: Zig-zag Key - Cutting Key in Half
Big illusion: Women in Half in pocket space! You show a regular key and magically divide it in half! The best part? Once it's restored, you may hand it out completely for examination.

Effect 7: key Dissolve - Melt The key In Slow Motion
We all know that simple magic packs a punch. Imagine placing a key in front of the bill and watching as it slowly melts through the bill! How cool is that?

Swiss Key is so much fun. I’ve just been having a blast utilizing it. While the main effect is a bill penetration, the Swiss key is capable of so much more. It may be the only object through bill gimmick, that does far more then object through bill.

Bill penetration version 1 - the best penetration effect taught in the instructions. There are others, but this one is the best in my opinion.

Static Key - a really cool “levitation” effect using the key and a bank note. Can easily be added in as a phase of the routine before the key through bill effect.

Balancing key - another fun effect where the key impossibly balances on the bill in various locations. Used as a demonstration of psychic powers.

Dissolving Key - a super visual effect where the key seemingly melts through one side of the bill, piece by piece, to the other side and then is cleanly displayed. This is one of my favs. Looks so good.

Vanishing key - Anyone who’s ever done a vanishing pen or sharpie in this fashion will quickly understand how this is done. Another dynamic effect taught that takes the key well beyond the simple object through bill.

These effects listed above are the ones that really steal the show and i just love how much of a utility Swiss key is. I’ve performed Ignition by Chris Smith for years and have now transitioned to Swiss Key. It does the same thing, but so much more.
