I learned the key trick in my college physics class. We too were working
with high voltage static electricity. I first started using the technique
for practical use when vacationing in the mountains, I could actually feel
the jolt up to my elbow.


Something to be aware of however. Modern vehicle keys have anti theft
circuitry in them, I wonder how they would hold up after using them as a
conduit to discharge you static charge.
