HEART-STOPPING!!! YOU SAY YOU WANT HEART-STOPPING MAGIC?!? Check THIS out!! This is ANOTHER WORLD EXCLUSIVE by MAGIC MAX! It's pronounced Pair-a-dime, but, no matter how you say it, it has everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, completely perplexed. It has Verne McCarthy's highest recommendation, so you KNOW it's a killer trick!

You invite two ladies up on stage with you (or perform this close-up, it DOESN'T MATTER!), and you and the ladies each hold each others' wrists. One lady is told to keep track of your HEART'S PULSE RATE. She first verifies for everyone that you have a STRONG, STEADY PULSE. You instruct the other lady to keep her eye on the second hand of her own watch. You have NEVER met these ladies before this moment. NO STOOGES!!

After a few moments of intense concentration on your part, one of the ladies shouts that her watch has GROUND to a COMPLETE STOP! Simultaneously, the other lady SCREAMS that your HEART'S PULSE has COMPLETELY STOPPED. You have NO PULSE!!!This one will even fool the Doctors!!!

....Was that a GASP from the back of the auditorium?...Are people actually FAINTING in the aisles?...

You have sucessfully STOPPED TIME in it's tracks! Verne McCarthy has been ""KNOCKING 'EM DEAD"" with this riveting routine for years! It's a real JAW-DROPPER!!! You should see the expression on the lady who is keeping track of your heart rate...

...OR...

You can perform this without the heart stopping part, if you like. That routine goes like this:

A spectator steps up to the front of the room with you, who you've NEVER met before. The Magician states that he is going to attempt an experiment in mind control, the ability to move an inanimate object by will power alone.

But first, the Magician relates a story about how he discovered as a young child that he could cause small toys to move as he stared at them, how Duke University has secretely tested him on several occasions, how he doesn't do this often for fear of frightening people, etc. etc.

Now the Magician grips the spectators' elbow, and, with laser-like intensity he stares at the spectators' watch, sending psychic energy from his eyes into the inner workings of the watch. THE MAGICIAN NEVER TOUCHES THE SPECTATORS' WATCH! NOTHING EVER TOUCHES IT, BUT STILL, THE SPECTATORS' WATCH GRINDS TO A HALT! ! ! Killer!

This is THE trick for you, if you want a ""No set-up, always-ready, knocks-em-dead and leaves-em-gasping"" type of trick! For those in the know, you can do this in short sleeves, no sleeves, or even wearing a Speedo swimsuit if you want! There is no tape, elastic, or bulky anything. It's all IN THE PARADIGM WATCH...a perfectly normal looking, masculine wristwatch with a leather strap and the most advanced gimmick available! So advanced, it will MOVE an ordinary looking penny, block of wood, or match stick. The PARADIGM WATCH is a Magic Max World Exclusive! It comes with eight premium effects and the unique props required to perform them - an ordinary looking penny, a shrunken head, and two additional special gimmicks all at an unbelievably LOW price!!!
