I own this effect by El Duco, probably now for 20 years. It is quite impactful. In my handling I allow a volunteer to put the watch in the box and with correct stage direction, they can hold the box until the disappearance.
The reappearance/reveal of the watch is quite dramatic. It all seems quite impossible. I have created my own script and patter to make logical use of the props.
The patina on the brass watch and chain are aged now and I quite like it. Looks more like a vintage piece and lends itself to the baffling presentation. If one does any bizarre magic or even a Halloween show, well, there are terrific possibilities here!
