Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton
For $40 bucks you get two Timeless Decks of cards (1 "gaffed", 1 regular) plus 5 effects you can do with these decks
If you read my review of the Timeless Deck you'll already know that I'm a big fan of the deck. I knew that it had potential for several effects using the theme of the deck itself along with some of the special cards that come with the deck.
Then along comes this project to prove me right. There are 5 effects on this DVD that range from good to unbelievable, and this just scratches the surface. The video is well produced, and the effects are well taught by Gary Jones. The ad copy is 100% accurate. Russ Stevens should be congratulated for that.
Read the ad copy (below) for Miracle Clock, one of the effects taught:
A spectator again thinks of their favorite time of the day. Without telling anyone or writing it down, the magician is again able to know the time they're thinking off and reveals it in an unusual and amazing way.
Read that again . . . the spectator thinks of a time; she never writes it down; she never tells anyone; she never says it out loud; yet you actually are able to know the time she thought of. This principle used in this effect is worth the price of the DVD alone. How you choose to reveal the time thought of is up to you. The reveal taught in this effect is excellent; it uses the Timeless Deck, but you can use any kind of reveal you wish.
One of the cards that comes with the regular deck is one that shows the clock on the face of one of the cards smashed. I came up with my own presentation for this, and you are also taught one on the DVD. It's a fun way to alter the actual image on a playing card. Essentially it's just a color change, but the with the different gimmicked (misprinted) cards you are able to make it appear as if you're modifying the clock images on the cards. This is well beyond a "mere" color change.
The doors of time are opened allowing you to alter the time-space continuum with your presentations. Time in and of itself is interesting. Add to the that Time Travel, and further add this beautiful deck of cards and top it all off with an excellent DVD with 5 effects, ideas and principles to add to your arsenal, and you're left with a Timeless Gem.
Final Verdict:
4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM.
