Before that I used to do it Alan Saxon way with devils hank, but really, making the pull made it at least three times better. At the moment I use hottrix medium strenght python pull. However it is not locking so I had do made small adjustment for the gimmick so it isn't pulling all the time but it has worked like charm otherwise. The best thing about it is the strenght. It doesn't have any problems pulling even heavy gimmick. I have read a lot of praise about petrick and mia reel and it is locking, but I am scared to invest 100$ for reel if it doesn't have enough strenght. J-M I also use the hottrix medium strenght python pull, JOL large Himber and all work great. Also developed different method on the bills to the envelop and it has all combined well.

They have a strong spring tension that is very similar to the one Tommy Wonder was using in his video. It is not difficult to make the gimmick, it is just time consuming cutting and soldering small parts. Of course you have to know how to solder properly. Yes, suspenders will work for the reel to attach to, it will also work with the shoulder strap Tommy Wonder discribes in his book. For the suspenders just place a safety pin on the suspender, then slip the Key-Bak on the pin. This type of effect was created back in the 1940's, that is why the original used a devils hank, if you seen Jim Steinmeyer lecture on the subject, you would be jumping at performing this piece all the time. His thinking is genius and added a wonderful Flower Lapel vanish and re-appearence to it that is genius. No search Key-Bak and get to making this wonderful effect.
