Effect

A borrowed object, such as a ring, vanishes and is later discovered inside a wristwatch that has been on the table since the beginning of the performance. The watch is opened to reveal the borrowed item, leaving the audience in awe. The trick can also include a mentalism routine where a spectator 'chooses' a time on a watch that has no hands, adding an extra layer of mystery.

Each unit is handcrafted in Portugal by John Miranda's team, ensuring high quality and reliability. The package includes instructions for multiple effects, including a mentalism routine that can be seamlessly integrated into performances.
