This is a faithful remake of Franz Bieman’s masterpiece the Card Clock, made in the UK by McGee Magic for the legendary performer Paul Daniels (Paul even signed the instructions). With the exception of yellow dots instead of green and the smooth dial vs textured I could not tell any difference in the mechanism or quality of manufacture between this and the original. And boy is this a clever and amazing item that will fool anyone not in the know. Although there are similarities to Dial-X, it very quickly surpasses anything you can do with Dial-X.
Firstly, although you can certainly feel the difference in friction it is more subtle than Dial-X. Next, the brilliant ruse to remove the “clock-hand” after you have selected the card throws anyone off the scent. That is a genius idea by Franz Bieman. In fact when I first tried it I could not really fathom how it could possibly work 🙁 Finally having the four phases that use a combination of three different methods just really confuses them all.
You can perform this with standard playing cards (the originals are included) but if you use the special ESP cards I have included six from Vince Wilson’s great ESP Deck it becomes even more mystifying. The four stages are easy to do and build on each other to produce a really amazing miracle.
