EFFECT

Magician distracts spectator for a moment with one trick when the trick seems to fail the magician apologizes and is then shows the spectator their watch.

METHOD

Seek a subject with a watch that has a leather band and which uses a "hook and eye". Place two cards in the spectators hands and grab the wrists of both hands fairly tight placing the face of the watch in your palm. Now tell the spectator to concentrate on the cards begin using your hands to move his arms. Tell the spectator that you will make the cards change in his hands or some other patter to distract them. (Removing the watch) Use your thumb to slide the band through the loop then bring their arms together grasping the other end of the strap with your other thumb and pull it free of the hook. Then palm the face and drop your arms to your sides. Say the trick did not work and then produce their watch and say something cute. To perform the trick like David Blaine requires hours of practice, try to practice on many different types of watch as possible. When practicing this trick try using on your own arm, put the watch on your right-hand and try to remove the watch with your left-hand. Once you can remove the watch without any problems and as smoothly as possible you are ready to perform the trick.
