I think this came out in 2007. It's 2021 and I still use this. It was for years in my stand-up show,
then I took it out, and it's back in. Whenever I am traveling this is something I can do if tmI have
no props with me.
It is a dual reality effect. This is perhaps why there are some bad
reviews. However, dual reality can be done in a way that one of the spectators does not get a great
effect. Here everyone gets an amazing effect, it's just a different effect.
It's more of a
stand-uo effect. Perhaps some bad reviews thought it was for close-up. It is not. I live this and
use it, but I wouldn't even cinsider using it for a close-up effect.
There's a similar
effect in "Nothing" by Max Maven, but I prefer this because it seems that one spectator reads the
mind of the other, where in the Max Maven effect the Performer "coincides" with the time.
I cantspeaj highly enough of this effect. I am grateful to Penguin and Luke for the moments of
delight and fun that it has allowed me to share with this puece in my repertoire.

I don't understand where all the bad reviews are coming from. Luke is a professional performer and
he uses this trick. It's VERY bold and you will have some trouble practicing it, but once you get it
and understand the psychology, you will be out and performing it.
This isn't much of a
street trick, nor is it really a "stage" trick but if you have 200 people, it can play really
nicely. I personally wouldn't perform this as a stand alone trick though. You can add it to a
hypnotism act maybe with 2 people on stage.
The special item might be around your house,
but like the ad said, it can cost you from 1-2 bucks. But you do need a certain type of watch, but
that can only cost maybe 20 bucks depending where you look.

I purchased this effect at the beginning of my magic career and I must admit initially I was very
disappointed. But after mulling it over for a few days I figured I may as well practice it and at
least try it out. Low and behold it killed! I still perform this effect today and love every minute
of it! Buy This!!
But..
If your persona is not bold or confident, by no means should you
purchase this effect.

The truth I actually just use this for the time force. Its a good trick anyway but its really nice
to have the ability to force things other than cards which spectators tend to suspect. Definately
grt it for that. By the way, THE INK MAY RUB OFF so make sure you have an out Luke is wrong about
that.

the idea is a common one used in mentalism and can be found in many different sources. while jermays
use of it is refreshing, i suggest you find it many different mentalist sources. if you are a
beginner mentalist, this method is a little too bold. need audience control

this is the perfect routine for... just about anywhere. i bought it about 10 minutes ago, watched it
all, found this item in my room, setup (took about 4 seconds) and practiced. i was a bit hesitant
since i have a strange watch. but nope. worked fine. buy this if you own a watch. oh one more thing,
you need to have a good script if you do this in a stage setting or even school. you need to setup
under their noses without them knowing. but for a table hopping, its fine.

Boldly a GRReat trick with time and a wristwatch. This fooled my friends badly. So now I WILL Be
performing it for my IBM Ring in Cincy, and my other Ring in Middletown (both in Ohio). I love this
kind of effect. a Double Fooler at best. Thanks Luke for this, much appreciated.
I've performed this a few dozen times on stage and at parties and it's a good trick but what makes
it a great trick is the presentation you give it. so it is what you make it. Criss Angel also
performed this very good on his tv show.
Not for everyone
This effect is very good, but the method need WORK .
Specially
construct a good character and work in your pattern
But for the serious student of Mentalism ,
this piece is excellent .
Good Tools and performance tips
A coincidence effect that is quick
and impossible in the audience point of view.
This is an incredibly devious routine...one which will probably not be performed as much as it
should. This is one of the most direct effects imaginable. One spectator thinks of a time, another
sets a watch to a random time, the times match. It is that direct, and that is exactly as it appears
to the audience.
Some people will not like this effect, but the ones who are willing to
use this secret will be highly rewarded.
