It’s an amazing combination of a chair test and a lock-and-key routine. It features some stunning moments that your audience will absolutely love! The Key of Fate routine can be added directly to your act and virtually always guarantees a standing ovation.

The routine:

You start the show with an offstage voice asking the audience to write down a word on a piece of paper. This word represents a prize that can be won. It can be anything: from a small toy to an expensive sports car, or even cash.

Toward the end of the show, you remind people that they wrote down a prize on a piece of paper before the show began. You bring a spectator onto the stage and refer to this person as “The Controller” (the controller). This person will make all the choices during the experiment. Three different keys are shown, along with a locked box. You show three envelopes and explain that only one key opens the box. The participant may swap the keys and place one in each envelope. You stand with your back to the participant.

You then label the envelopes 1, 2, and 3. You ask The Controller to return to the audience and invite three others onto the stage. Once this is done, you place three chairs on the stage. You also label them chairs 1, 2, and 3.

Once the participants have taken their seats, you collect the labeled slips of paper from the audience. You ask the participants sitting on stage to also take a slip of paper; these are all different colors. You explain that the person who can open the box wins the prize listed on the slip of paper.

Next, you ask “The Controller” to return to the audience and choose three people to come onstage. While your spectator is doing this, you place three chairs onstage. You label them with the numbered envelopes 1, 2, and 3.

The first participant tries to open the box, but fails. You ask what was written on the slip of paper: a fantastic prize, such as a diamond ring. The second participant tries as well, but fails again. His slip of paper indicated a prize of 1,000 euros.

Now it’s clear that the third participant can open the box. When he or she tries, the lock does indeed open, but the note says the participant only wins a banana! The participant is naturally disappointed, but you explain that you knew this prize all along! When the participant lifts the lid, there’s already a banana inside!

The audience applauds. The audience thinks the routine is over, but you explain that you already knew this participant was going to win. To prove it, you say you had already made another prediction.

You flip the chairs over, and an envelope is hanging from the bottom of the winner’s chair. Inside the envelope is a note that reads: “De persoon die op deze stoel zit gaat winnen. P.s. Sorry dat de andere twee deelnemers niet de diamanten ring of de 1000 euro gewonnen heeft!”
