The Tele-Actor collects sets of personal keys (housekeys, car keys, etc) from guests at the opening. The Tele-actor must convince guests that it is safe to turn over their keys, that their keys will be safely returned, and so on. Anyone at the projection area can provide advice and strategy through a wireless network interface. As keys are collected, aides will convey them back to the projection area and put them into a large glass bowl.
