The key to happiness

Here is a truly first-class article for a flawless and outstanding performance of this classic piece of mental magic.

The magician asks the audience if they would like to play a little game of chance. He pulls out a very high-denomination banknote and says he'll put it on the line... whoever wins gets the banknote as their prize! He places the banknote in a shallow, crystal-clear Plexiglas container and seals it with a padlock. He then inserts eight small keys and shows that only one of them will open the padlock. The eight keys are thrown into a jar and thoroughly mixed. Now, one by one, the audience takes a key and tries their luck at opening the padlock. Naturally, they fail. At the end, the magician (or even one of the audience members) tries the very last key that wasn't chosen, and it actually opens the padlock. After the highly exciting performance, the magician can finally relax, take back his money, and receive his well-deserved applause.

An effect you can carry in your pocket, but that is also entertaining on the biggest stage.
