Hello,

Really like the idea behind the trick.

I would have preferred to see it performed to an actual spectator but...oh well.

Good Job.

Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Thats a cool effect. When you pulled out the gift card I saw the picture and thought what a coincidence it was that it had a watch on it. :lol:

One problem that I did have with the effect is the gift card; why have it labeled with a watch and Time?

Or, you could tell your audience, you know those days where there's just not enough time to get everything you want done?

Whenever I come across those days I use my time gift card to purchase an extra hour in the day.

Its one of those effects you can use mid-routine, but don't stop and give them time to think about it... go on to hit them with something else and then something else again.

After a few seconds thought I started to imagine what time would be represented by stopping at different cards such as a 7 a king and a Jack. I guess that won't happen, but the audience dont' know that.

The gift card is taken out as a spur of the moment idea. It then elevates to being part of the actual routine. In the beginning, I bring no attention to what the gift card has on it because, in the spectator's mind, the content of the card doesn't have anything to do with the trick itself.
