This is the real deal. I can't find my links at the moment. But Google for it and you'll find it. There is a hobby club in Germany that picks locks for fun. They have put out an information sheet on it, and somewhere out there is a great video on it. You can also buy the key blanks off of eBay.

I'll see if I can dig up the stuff I had on this. It sparked quite the discussion at work, since it basically means, once you know how to do it, you can break into a house and leave no trace.
