Show a small metal lock. Ask a friend to open it. They can't. But when you take the lock behind your back (saying that it is a "bashful lock"), it opens.

I don't know a magician who actually uses one of these-I did however, come across a performer/author on the internet, who does include the Bashful Lock, in one of his story telling routines. A Google or two would provide the reference, as I cannot recall his name. I keep this, along with a few other items, for when I know I'll be meeting up with children. It's an innocent little puzzle/trick-and it's quarter size and design seem appropriate for small hands. This lock actually had another function in days gone by-it was fashioned out of sturdier metal, and was used as a locking cigar cutter. It also reminds me of something that one may have received as a Cracker Jack prize, but, back in the 1940's or 50's. It just has that penny arcade prize quality to it, and speaks of another era-back when toys and tricks were simpler, and made of more natural materials.
