TIMELESS
$45
Sorry, No Discounts on This Item
THE BLURB:
Timeless is an extraordinary and unusual effect with your
wristwatch. Imagine being able to predict a spectator's
freely-chosen time, and then being able to cause the hands
of the watch to disappear completely. More than a trick,
Timeless is a special watch (included) that can force any
time you desire and allow you to vanish the hands.
Every package includes a luxury wristwatch which has been
individually prepared for use with Timeless. Also included
is a DVD demonstrating Timeless performances on stage and up
close by Joshua Jay, as well as step-by-step DVD instruction
by Andi Gladwin. This is a complete package with everything
you need to know to perform this great effect.
Created by Liam Montier, with Andi Gladwin and Joshua Jay,
Timeless is a truly original effect with an extrodinarily
clever method that makes it easy to perform. You can force
any time and then reveal that the hands have vanished with
this special watch.
MY COMMENTS:
This one is a bit controversial, so far as mentalists are
concerned. Because hands of a watch disappear, it makes
this routine seem like mental magic. However, I close with
Wizard's Manual and one can describe it as having a page
disappear from a book. My presentation is that the page was
never there and that I controlled someone to think of it.
The same can be done with this. Only the people who the
performer wants to remember a time need to see it. And so
it's very easy to claim that a thought was put into their
head and then show the proof that there are no hands on the
watch.
This one I had to try out to see if it's actually as
impressive as it reads. Personally, I thought, for sure,
that my high school students would see exactly what's going
on. They didn't. They freaked. Even my sons liked it. My
issue is that I don't wear a watch regularly (thanks to my
carpal tunnel syndrome), but I'm seriously thinking about
how I can still use this as this is something that can
definitely suit me.
The 30 minute (approx.) DVD instructions are hosted by Andi
Gladwin who explains the basics and many other nuances, plus
explains a very nice stage handling that involves more than
one person. The DVD ends with Joshua Jay performing and
also giving his explanation of the effect.
It's easy to do. There are no sleights. It is recommended
that you wear the watch and not use sleeves (for reasons
apparent in the method), but there are ways around that if
you pay attention to Gladwin's tips and info. It can be
instantly reset and can instantly be repeated with an
entirely different time, if one chose to do that.
Obviously, this isn't for everyone, but I find this to be
unique and certainly memorable for those whose styles this
does suit.
