TIME KEEPER
$40
THE BLURB:
The performer invites a spectator to embark on a magical
journey that will use time. A small packet of cards is
introduced which depict different times on a clock face.
The performer asks the spectator to pick one of the cards
which is a completely free choice. Once the selection has
been chosen, the performer will attempt to deduce the
correct time.
Now for the exciting conclusion as the performer announces
that he believes he knows what time the spectator has
chosen.
He reveals it to be 100% accurate. This can be repeated as
well. Time Keeper is a fantastic effect and can also be used
as a mentalism piece or a magical mystery.
Comes with the instructional DVD and custom printed time
cards.
The DVD also gives you several different performances in
which you can borrow a wind up wrist watch or a pocket
watch.
MY COMMENTS:
I must say that I am extremely impressed by this. When I
opened the package and looked through the cards, I couldn't
figure out anything at all. They looked just like two dozen
drawings of clocks with random times. I thought perhaps the
backs were marked, but the backs are plain white.
The basic effect is that a time is chosen, or, more
specifically, a card with a time on it is chosen. The
performer reveals that time. Now, the card certainly can be
forced, but that's not what's clever about these cards.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you what that is, but I can give
you a big tip. Think of these cards as a clock, or time,
version of a Mental Pictoria deck or Simon Shaw's DIRECTOR'S
CUT. For the professional, that will probably say
everything.
Sure, you're limited to the theme of time, but that doesn't
limit this too much. One can still do quite a bit with
these cards which are handsomely produced. My one gripe is
that it did not come with a vinyl card folder, or anything
like that, to hold he cards, but those are easy enough to
obtain. Besides the two dozen cards (which are standard
playing card size), one also gets the fifteen minute
instructional DVD (approx. time) that contains several
different routines you can use with these cards. Definitely
recommended.
