I waited a bit and read many positive reviews and a few negative reviews. After purchasing it and using it a bit, I can say it is awesome, and I don't see any significant downsides. One complaint is it takes time to "set" the clock day and time. It does take some time, but it is easily worked into a presentation. True, you can't immediately reveal their thought of day and time, but this is designed to be part of a routine that gives you the needed five to ten seconds to set the gimmick. The second most common complaint is if the photo of the clock is handed out, the spectator might catch on to the method. I highly doubt it. Once you are done with the "dirty work", I would say the method is totally undetectible. I have a clock that I "set" several days ago, and it looks EXACTLY like a photo of the time and day I set. It will look exactly the same a year from now. I did find that I experimented with different pens, and I like using the finer point sharpie or a Pilot roller ball pen instead of a regular point sharpie. I will say the routines or plots presented are not nearly as powerful as they could be. I like to use this in conjunction with Psypher and do something a bit more thorough, including the revelation of a home address. I have a pre-drawn business card and pretend to draw a house on the back of my business card and write the revealed home address. This gives me plenty of time to do the work with this gimmick to reveal a day and time. You can take anyone to any time in their past, any location and reveal where they are. Very powerful. I would say that the one draw back is if the originator ever stops making the refill gimmicks. It would take some work, and I would say you would probably rather buy the refills that try to make them, but if you had to, you could make the refills. And, if the refills are no longer available in the future and you don't want to make refills, then you probably got more than your money's worth anyway, and if you are like me, you have learned a really cool technique that could be applied to other ideas. Totally worth it!
