Hi Friends,
First of all, thanks for your all inputs and comments on my effects so that I can make sure at least some buddies like and dislike it with reasons provided. Quote:

But I also observed that we have thousands of effects which require props that look suspicious and cannot be examinable. In PK area, you know there are a few bending effects or other like this (I won't name them because I don't want to give negative impression. And I am NOT against those products). We have illusionists who perform with large props that no intelligents will think not the props are innocent. So should we not perform illusion any more because intelligent people know the props are gimmicked? I think the point is lying on presentation...and the rest, you know... Quote:

I have constructed the whole effect so that the watch can be examined and there is no way the gimmicked or suspicious thing to be found. And of course, I won't give the watch to someone to hold who already has a watch. And for others, thanks for your support. But to return to the topic, any workshop suggested?? Thanks for your input in advance!! Alex Hui

Alex made that comment. I take it he was being sarcastic, but I feel the answer should probably be YES. We should no longer perform certain illusions because intelligent people know they could do it if they bought the props (zig zag lady makes me sick when I see it done). |

Ivan, intelligent people believe what we tell them. If we allow them to examine ordinary props, then there is no gimmick. The gimmicks must be invisible, and so that to such a degree as to pass inspection.

Search the internet yellow pages for watch repair in your local area. Most on this forum are not versed in where to get a custom watch made in Hong Kong. - Greg Owen

And ultimately: If by chance you are able to get this to market for under $200 you'll sell a thousand of them...

My watch can do this effect and it is not gimmicked. Check out the thousands of watches available many have functions that allow this kind of demonstration.

I think Derren Brown's ideas can help here. His aproach is not just to reveal the miracle - the watch stops at the time named- but for the audience to see the process of mind control happen before them (even of course if the real process is well hidden). There has to be a fake process that can be at least half convincing as to why the watch is stopping and the mentalist can take credit for. Otherwise I agree that it will just seem like a gimmicked watch. After all if you were to perform the masters time machine you want the watch hidden until the final moment of revelation is provided.
