While a good magician swears to never reveal their tricks, a commonly known secret used by many escape artists is the Ivory Pick. While the secret to actually creating one is unknown, there is enough of an abundance of them amongst the population of performers that anyone with the right unsightly connections could obtain one. Typically used to pick open tricky locks and bindings, the Ivory Pick is surprisingly capable of freeing someone from any situation despite its flimsy appearance. It's always advised not to rely too heavily on them however, as horror stories circulate around the performing arts communities of escape artists preparing for their death defying final act, only to find that the key component to their survival has been misfortunately misplaced.
Appearance
Typically kept in a small case of sorts, the Ivory Pick is a thin pale instrument, able to fit within the keyhole of any lock or door. Prone to snapping under stress, it’s possible for anyone not careful enough to accidentally break the item under the right circumstance. The material of the Pick is thought to be some kind of polished bone, smooth to the touch with a soft glossy coating around it, although what exactly it's been made from has never truly been confirmed outright.
