The first magician I ever saw perform this classic effect was veteran professional magician Diamond
Jim Tyler in a video clip shot in the Close-Up Gallery at the Magic 🪄 Castle back in the late 90s. I
was very heavily inspired and immediately purchased his manuscript and book entitled Pockets Full of
Miracles (which truly is). He quickly became one of my favorite magicians needless to say. What I
loved the most is Jim’s light hearted approach and presentation, the modularity of the phases and
the simplicity in plot. It has remained a main staple in my close-up repertoire ever since.
Collateral takes his award winning routine to a new level by creating a paradox in time in the minds
of the spectators.
