Tricky Time by Zico Tseng & MS Magic

Introducing Tricky Time produced by ZH Ceng, Bond Lee & MS Magic

This is a clean, practical, and highly commercial clock magic effect with great comedy and interactive structure.

The clock is examinable by the audience.

The spectator pushes the hand, which lands on a random number.

By turning the clock upright, the magician controls where the weighted hand falls, for a funny comedy reveal.

He shows it matches his first prediction as a joke.

The real miracle happens next: the spectator holds the clock, closes their eyes, and spins the entire clock freely. The hand stays at a truly random position, creating a completely free choice of time.

Amazingly, this random time matches the performer’s final prediction perfectly.

The clock is 100% mechanical, examinable, no electronics, no batteries, no apps.

Easy to do, self-contained, and ready to use for any stage or close-up performance.
