Easily solved: include a small switch in the stem of
the wand, with which the user can turn the
electromagnet off and on in a secrety-secret

Misdirection is the key (pun intended) to all good magic tricks. Whilst the would-be thief is busy with his parabolic mic, binoculars and a magnet watching and recording your complex shwooshy motions and everchanging incantations, surreptitiously step 3 times on a small button hidden in the floor which opens the door. [RS's] Auto-swing idea is mandatory of course. |

Pointy hat and celestial-pattern robes optional, but
strongly recommended. |
