Stopping time

Postby Justin Saul » Oct 6th, '09, 12:06



Hi guys

I'm hoping you can help me out with this one, I'm looking for a way of stopping time on a borrowed watch without wearing a PK ring.

At the moment i've go a neo in a TT but I have never really been a fan of using a TT so I'm looking for an alternate method, any suggestions?

I know! I'd never even heard of that song until we hit nursery. At first it was a strange and intoxicating lyric with an odd melody. Now I puke every time I hear it.

But how many kids, or adults know what a bobbin is nowadays? The only reason that I know is because my mum used to do a lot of dress making and taught me to use a sewing machine when I was younger.

... clap, clap, clap. Point to the ceiling, point to the floor. Point the the window and point to the door. :lol:

I neglected to mention I would like the method to work with Watches like my own that have a screw down stem, so that rules one method of doing it out. Anyone?

Well there is a way you've hit on already using a different placement or there is a released thing that will cost you about £150 if not more. Choice is yours :D
Lady of Mystery I agree and I had a mother that used a sewing machine alot other wise I don't think I'd know :lol:

In that case i'll go with option A Rev :wink: It's the alternate placement I'm struggling with. I considered an implant but I work with technology so it could have potential pitfalls. :lol:
If you've got an idea for a good alternate placement and how to handle the watch etc could you let me know please? please PM me if it is too close to exposure.

I've thought about an implant for something else. The magnets have to be a special one as they are silicone coated otherwise they will poison you. You're looking at about £60 for that mate so option A it is :D

You may want to take a gander at the book PSYCHOKINESIS by Chuck Leach. I do believe that will give you more than enough ideas as to how to resolve your issue.

The Finger or Thumb methods have been around a very long time and work very well in dim light. Guy Bavli used to sell one called "Time Stop" that I've enjoyed using for some time (along with my own variants to it... always nice to change up how you hold the watch).

Using the classic Chazpro gimmicks however, you can set your placement at multiple "hot spots" be it on you, the table, in your brief case... just let your imagination flow.





BTW... I have a source for the Pro Device that's quite reasonable if I buy it in bulk... we need at least 12 participants in that this is the smallest quantity I can get them in but we're talking about less than $35.00 per unit with shipping. PM me if you're seriously interested and once we have enough together I'll gladly send off an order.
