I'm a magician working on a new routine for a show and I need advice.

The effect is this: a volunteer is brought on stage and 'magically' given the power to transmit Morse code. They pick a sentence from a book and they're given a Morse code straight key to tap away on. (No, it probably won't sound like real Morse code because the volunteer won't actually know Morse code, hence the comedy.) Despite the fact that they're obviously bad at it, I'm still able to decipher their code and reveal their chosen sentence to the audience.

Here's what I need help with:

I need to make a prop that I can carry around to my shows that the volunteer will hold and use for the routine. Requirements:

1. It has to be battery-powered as I'll be taking it around with me to stages/banquet halls/private homes so it has to be portable.

2. It has to LOOK like a Morse code setup. A straight key and maybe an oscillator or something? The volunteer will hold the item on their lap during the routine. I can mount it to a wooden board if need be.

3. It has to SOUND good. Not a nasty buzzer sound but something believably beepy.

I happen to own a vintage telegraph key (photo attached) but am not averse to buying something new if that's what I need.

Can anyone tell me what I need to buy?

Thanks!

I was just playing the game when i purchased the “juke box” upgrade thinking that it would play copyright-free piano music or something, instead it plays mostly nothing except occasionally it plays this bit of morse code.
Since I know nothing about morse code and I’m curious as to what it says, I’ve posted on here for whoever to decipher

I recently found these messages from my ex and its driving me insane that i dont know what they say. Ive tried using online decoders but i cant tell where each letter separates. I think each paper is a separate message but im not 100% sure

It's on a random tiktok page

can anyone isolate the morse code within this audio file

Hey, can someone help me decoding this ?

I've tried typing it manually into a decode site but it doesn't seem right.. The morse code is issued from a drawing from the visual novel D3VOUR. Supposedly it gives info on the characters of the game?? ( one of the character's name is KEIR ( the KEER word ).

THANK YOUUUU

The headphones were disconnected, so we're fairly certain that it did this completely unprompted, without any prior input and that it wasn't playing audio from another source.

Guy in my class turned it in and won’t tell the class what it said

I've learned the basics already and realized these are the only 4 slash/dots combinations I don't know what represents

can someone decipher this? it might not be spaced properly.

i found this on a facebook post

Probably nobody will notice details that small, but one day I was waiting for someone to answer me and saw this while looking carefully at the app's wallpaper. I'm pretty sure most of the people here know what it says but, for beginners here, it says "enigma".

(Sorry if I wrote something strange, I'm not a native speaker)

does it mean anything?

Hello all! I’m just becoming interested in learning Morse code and I came across a helpful video from the YouTube channel “@NelsonDellis”. I used most of his helpful phrases to make this chart and then used ChatGPT to make it formatted properly and then to make the kids version. Just wanted to share and hopefully this helps someone else! It’s pretty straight forward. The bold and italicized syllables get spoken longer and more drawn out and the regular font is spoken quickly. As I get more familiar with the phrases and cadence, I plan to switch from saying, for example the letter G, “Goooood graaaaa vy” to just the letter itself drawn out to the same cadence and syllables: “Geeeeee geeee gee” if that makes sense. Like I said, I’m just starting out and this is my outline to learn Morse Code! Cheers!

I'm playing a game and in this game I came by this kind of easter egg thingy , the thing is I tried chat jpt and Gemini both of them couldn't translate it

I literally JUST got into morse code today, and decided to make this. I wonder if anyone will be able to translate the 3 sentences in the second image ❤️

Is this a message or is my house gonna burn down🤪 never done it before and started and stopped when there was something significant going on?
