Also known as Time Tubes. This effect has the magician showing two brass tubes or cylinders with screw top lids. A spectator is asked to place a match in either of the two tubes and once finished place the tubes upon the table making sure to remember which one contains the match.
All this being done while the magician's back is turned. To take it a step further the spectators may even cover each tube with an opaque glass or suitable substitute. Once the task is completed the magician turns around and picks the correct cylinder that holds the match!
In this effect the magician does not see, feel or hear anything which leaves an impression upon the spectators. By the way, the match is borrowed. Matches pictured not included. Includes instructions. Condition very fine.
