Keys to the Kingdom (Camirand Academy of Magic) was a marketed item by David Acer.

The booklet came with 3 "house key" props, with manufacturing rights reserved by The Camirand Academy of Magic, Inc. This is a variation of the Color Changing Knives using house keys. The routine story-line is that the magician wants to keep his house keys straight and has color coded them, but becomes just as confused as ever.

Acer also performs and explains this routine using Greg Wilson's special set of keys on Wilson's Freakey DVD (2008)
