I recommend The Magic Book by Harry Lorayne as the best introduction. It teaches a few basic sleights in great detail.

Gotta say I hate haunted key, it doesn't look very haunted to me.

tom's right you have to concentratre on not turning the key, check out the threads on the key and you will see that most people when they get it make it turn over so fast you'd blink to miss it when the secret to good presentation with the key is to make it turn very slowly and even stop half way through by mental will rather than any angle thing.
my hand stays flat yet the key still turns, pm me for more details on presentation.
