description:A card is selected from the deck and signed by the spectator. Performer draws a clock on the back of the card and then draws the hands to a predicted time. The spectator is asked to pick a time of day. Your prediction doesn't match but changes to the selected time right in front of their eyes.

view the demo on www.jbtv.co.uk and read on.

false advertising is something that we already know to exist in magic.you see a description of a trick :"a freely selected card appears on the ceiling" only to find out later that the card is forced.so the card is not so freely selected.apparently magic demos don`t escape that "selling" rule.
seeing the tempus fugit demo on jbtv really sells you the fact that their presentation is the way the trick
works every time however that is not the case.in fact in this presentation the "spectator" has been instructed what to say.I can`t really get into details as to not reveal the secret.i`ll just add that to layman
the trick remains the same :he picks and signs a card,calls an hour and in the end it appears on his signed card which can be given to him as souvenir.when a magician sees this trick,there are some points that were not presented on the demo,that can give him a clue on how it`s done.
this trick will require some basic handling with cards and you will need a bicycle back cards as they are
not included.all in all it`s really a nice trick and with proper presentation can turn out to be a gem.
