Yep, this is just one of those crazy things where some might possibly think; 'This will just never fly', and they might perhaps over analyze it's possible failure due to it's insane simplicity. But, ya know what... it WORKS! Just take the time to practice a good presentation that you feel works best for you and go out and kill with it!

You think it must be bold but it isn't - I can hold the watch out for 5 min (literally) and the spectator is still none the wiser. "Did you get the time - can you see it?" "Yes, yes" they always say. "Are you sure" "Yes!" they always say...even after making sure. So good.

I wore the watch out (without being set up) just to see if anyone would say anything. I was asked for the time, looked at the watch and just called out something close to the time it was... The person said "thanks!" and walked away.
Have some guts it's like the cross cut force... Just bold but with the right play it's a miracle. |

Its like most things, it better to try to think like the spectator or layperson (They don't know whats coming) and are just looking to be entertained, so you need to just go with it. As Magicans, we have a tendency to over-analyse because we find it difficult to like a layperson, sometimes you just need to just go for it and be bold.
I remember feeling the same way when first performing humbug, once you know the secret you cannot see how you can get possibly away with this - but it just works and fries audiences ! |

Just wanted to share that I did my Timeless routine this afternoon in a completely new way - on stage cabaret style.
I did the show at a high end senior center, and based on feedback from the one hour set... TIMELESS absolutely rocked the house! I made two changes to the routine which can be found earlier in this thread - after the spectator sees their chosen time and turns away, I used a large poster board to show the audience the message "WATCH HAS NO HANDS." I asked everyone to try not to react to what they saw prior to showing the poster board. At the end I asked the entire 70 person audience on the count of three to say in unison "THE WATCH HAS NO HANDS." Anyone looking for a powerhouse effect showing influence cannot go wrong with using TIMELESS in a bigger platform.

Just wanted to add my thanks to Liam and Josh and Andi as well as everyone that has shared your thought in this thread. Still a great effect and method. I only wish I had found this earlier.

I use this for stage at nearly every show now.
I also heard from a good source that a well known German Mentalist is using this for his stage work too. Not someone we see here at the Café.

At some shows just prior I go to someone seated near the front and ask them to examine the watch carefully, note that it has no hands, and also note that it is in fact "ticking." Later in the show this person acts as corroborator and witness after the final reveal.

I brought this out again after a long time. I couldn't do the needed move in one swift motion, well, I was a complete idiot and never noticed when you got the watch there is a film on the wach! Well that made it a lot easier, I can really see this being added into one of my sets.

Does anybody still have the instructional video on their computer for the original Timeless?
I have the new Timeless Deluxe - as evidence, see my detailed review on it that I posted recently elsewhere on The Café. I'd love to compare the instructional video for Timeless Deluxe with the instructional video provided with the original release ten years ago. I contacted Vanishing Inc to see if I could get access to a digital download of the original instructional video, but they told me that sadly it's been long lost on one of their hard drives. So unfortunately they couldn't help me out with that. So I was hoping maybe someone here could help, if someone still has a digital copy of it on their computer? It's a long shot, but I figured it was worth a try. |
