BDM Hands Off – The Perfect Chest by Martin Pacheco

Luck is always on your side in such a magical and clean way that you could never have imagined!

BDM Hands Off is the new chest from Bazar de Magia that surpasses all previously made ones.

Four keys are handed to the spectators to ensure that they cannot open the chest. They receive a fifth key that ensures it opens the chest. Then the magic begins.
The magician hands over a valuable item, such as his car keys. The spectators place them in the chest and lock it. They then mix and distribute the keys among themselves. The magician acts only as a spectator and directs the actions of the game, but he never touches anything.

And why not suggest a key exchange among the spectators who wish to do so?
Now comes the moment when the magician must perform magic. Which spectator could be the one holding the key to the chest?
First, the magician selects one of them, but then he releases him or her. This is done only to add some suspense to the trick. The spectator must drop their key and insert it into the slot of the chest. Now there is no turning back.
Let's continue with spectator number two. The same pattern is repeated. The possibilities are now limited. Any mistake at this moment and the magician must go home!
The performer hesitates in selecting the third spectator. Finally, he does it and another key is inserted into the chest. Now there are only two possibilities left. One mistake here and the magician must break open the chest.

Nevertheless, with BDM Hands Off from Bazar de Magia, luck is always on your side. The same action is repeated with spectator number four. The fifth spectator approaches the chest, opens it, and returns the magician's keys. This climax elicits a standing ovation.
