This effect was used by David Blaine to open one of his TV specials! He borrowed a watch from a man sitting
in his car and checked the correct time. He placed the watch back in
the man's hands and then asked him to think of a number to move the
time. The man said '24' and after a few seconds of mental hocus-pocus,
the man opened his hands and saw the watch indeed MOVE AHEAD 24
MINUTES! The reaction was incredible! |
