We have friends who own an entertainment business in the local mall. It’s five different escape rooms under one roof, but every Friday and Saturday they have guest magicians and mentalists come in to amuse the folks in the lobby while they wait for their room to be ready. Now I’m very familiar with how most of these tricks are done and I’m usually amused, but not impressed (when performing close up magic you REALLY better know your stuff!)
Last Saturday night a mentalist performed what seemed to be a very simple trick and was completely flawless. This simple trick was so slick I was actually very impressed. It went like this: mentalist takes off his wristwatch and sets it to a custom time then puts the watch face down on the table. He asks someone what time they were born (Say 2:37) watch is flipped over with 2:37 on the face.
That’s it. That’s the trick. I was in awe.
Now I know this guy and at the end of the night I begged him to give me a hint as to how he did it. He smiled at me and said, “use an analog, not a digital”. Yeah, that told me nothing.
I‘m desperate to know how this trick was done. If you know, please share!
Oh, I am very well aware of the magicians code of ethics. If you don’t feel comfortable posting the answer out in the open public I completely understand. But at least PM me with the solution.
If you can help please let me know. This is killin‘ me!
