Magic Tricks

I had to get more than one to get one that works. Let me say that I perform three watch-related illusions in a row and this one is the closer of that theme. I've had people cuss, back up several steps VERY QUICKLY, scream and have had a couple of women cry. It's not the simplicity of the trick, folks - it's all in performance.

So, it's a great effect that has the potential for great reactions. I like it. I only gave it 3 stars because I got one that one time worked, but not the other. Then I found another where the other time worked; but not the first one. I had to return more than one before I got one that you could actually see both times on the crystal. Then I found one in a shop that the images were better than on the one I bought online; so I bought that one. I have a few of these because it's so great that I keep trying to get one that's well-made. I don't know if the material doesn't hold the etching or if it wears off after time or if they're just poorly constructed...but something is wrong here. Which is sad, because it's such an emotionally hard-hitting effect.

So, performed properly - and especially in conjunction with other effects - this is a powerful illusion. However, it's apparently a gamble as to whether or not you actually get one that is well-made and usable. Good luck.
