Any reviews of this from Penquin Magic. Looks pretty good.

The reviews on penguin speak pretty clearly, (except for the guy who discover his breath would fog glass for the first time) and I agree with all the bad ones.
Too much force and not enough reveal. Minutes later your victims are working out the force and trying it on their friends later that evening on any clock available. What is the trick? The force.. or the crystal? Even if it were a bargain bin item I wouldn't recommend it. The force is too involved and weak in my opinion. The "crystal" is simply overpriced. |

Regarding the force, just get hold of 12 blank-faced bicycles and draw your clock faces on each (diff. hour per card).
Using a well known principle, you can now ask the spec. to take any card, and of course the Crystal will show the predicted hour... You could also say that the 'disc' was in fact a crystal ball - until you flattened it(!) GS |

Any news on how this could be made? I was looking for something with a time such as 5:34 possibly. Using an add-a-number force. This would be way easier and way less confusing, plus it would be more random.

I bought this about four years ago. Like anything else it's about presentation. However, after not using it for a year, I took it out and discovered that one side of the crystal had faded. It is now just a round piece of glass.

I think I know what would make this a better trick. You could make it say any time you pleased and also do it more than once on a person. You would not have to do a silly force either. I will talk with some people I know and see if I can get a demo underway. I also am thinking about better coin mods (ie. pen through quarter could be SOOOOO much better with my idea! Just need to find a good machine shop not afraid to alter currancy and present my idea)any help would be appreciated!
