Lubor Fiedlers Time Element Cylinders

[Rob Rand]

Never heard of this trick before:

Or am I just way behind and is this a well-known trick?

[VictorS]

Buy it Rob, it is really good. I`m not sure if this is the same with mine, but it looks very similar in the effect and I believe in the method. You will understand why LF named the trick like that

[David DeTenyo]

I have one, the previous version I believe. I think there are some knock-offs available. The secret is very clever - actually the name of the trick reveals it

[Roberto B.]

Highly recommended mental item Rob....you should get it.

There is a versión by Viking Magic that uses 3 containers (can't remember the name).....same principle........but I like the Time Element better because is smaller and fits in your pocket.

[Rob Rand]

OK thanks for the advice guys!
I will put it on my wish list! Must be something extremely clever!

I'm wondering if Simon knows of this one, as a Fiedlerlover.

[SimonC]

I don't and I'm completely intrigued!!
I love the name, the look of the props I'm sold and I have no idea what it does! (can't read the site!)

[Rob Rand]

A little googling may help Simon, I discovered in the meantime, it is for sale at numerous webshops.
With English description of the effect.

[Richard W]

Simon read about it here.

ROYAL FANTASY

How would you like to perform a visually stunning routine that blew away millions of viewers on national television? Lubor Fiedlers Royal Fantasy did just that for Harry Anderson and it could do the same to your audience as well. The magician displays four jumbo playing cards, all kings, and places them onto a spectators hand. First the king of hearts, then the king of spades, king of clubs and king of diamonds. After each card has been individually placed onto the spectators hand, the four kings instantly change into four spot cards of different values! Apparently the four kings were just a royal fantasy, even though it all happened right before your spectators eyes. Perfect for stand-up or close-up performances. Ends clean with only four cards. Nothing is added or taken away and there is no switching.

Found a uk dealer selling it for £25.52. Anyone fancy buying an illusion scale I'll throw in an image generator for 52p

Roberto you mean Sorcerer's Stone by Viking is the same effect?

[Roberto B.]

Is a different routine but uses the same method.

[Richard W]

Roberto you mean Sorcerer's Stone by Viking is the same effect?

Does anyone have Sources Stone? I have wanted to get that for a long time? Do both Sourcers Stone and Time Element Cylinders need good lighting and good eyes to do comfortably?

[David DeTenyo]

No they don't They don't need you to look, to feel, to hear or to see. The tubes are in their hands the intire time, and you can even be in another room the whole time! Again, the name of the trick 'Time Element Cylinders' tells you what the secret is. Litle brain teaser isn't it :p
One thing: you can only perform the effect ONE time for the same spectator(s).

[SimonC]

It says speccy puts the tubes in their pockets, do you have to stare at someone's trouser area to find the match? Sounds a bit creepy. Do they put them back after trousering them?

[David DeTenyo]

They don't have to put them in their pockets, and you don't have to look at the spectator. I always perform the trick with my back turned. I give them the cilynders, turn my back, ask them to put something in one of them, close it, and I immediately know where it is.
Come on guys, think HARD

[SimonC]

Do you need to listen for the closing sound?

[David DeTenyo]

I made an error in one of my previous posts. It should read "You (as in 'the magician/perfomer') don't need to look, to feel, to hear or to see.

[SimonC]

I know it's something to do with time...
Do they each have a different th***d so one takes longer to s***w?

[Roberto B.]

Exactly!!!.......I remember that the instructions of one of the two tricks states that "you can be in another country and perform the trick by phone"....

[BobD]

I have one that uses the same method from Magic Hands of Germany. I wonder who invented this principle. The trick is a good one but cannot be repeated. Also, some Smart Alec may not put the object inside the container. I have not tried the trick yet because I have not found a suitable presentation.
