Trick Review: Divine Time - Jason Palter
Friday September 1, 2006
A first rate mentalism effect, Jason Palter’s Divine Time offers an entertaining routine that’s built on a time theme and serves a solid revelation. A spectator randomly selects a watch from several that display different times, and the performer somehow determines the time.

Watch and Wear - A time-based effect that I absolutely hated. This poorly crafted device didn't even work.

Thanks for your review–it’s always good to hear reviews from someone you know is an authority on magic. One thing I wish you would do in your reviews, however, is specify a difficulty level. If you say a trick is “fairly simple” to do, it’s still hard to tell just how simple that trick is. “Fairly simple” to an accomplished magician could mean “really damn hard” to a total beginner.
What I’m saying is that it would be really cool if you could also, in addition to reviewing tricks, rate the trick on a difficulty level (and pre-define what each level means). For example, “easy” could mean that anyone who’s never done magic can be able to do the trick, “medium” could refer to a beginner magician who’s mastered a few simple tricks but still kind-of sucks, and so on.
Just an idea. All in all, I enjoy your articles, and your portion of the About.com site. Actually, I despise most of the About.com sections–this and another one being a huge exception.
