| The Clock of Alexander |
The magician introduces a game board resting vertically on a blue and gold pedestal. Everyone's eyes are drawn to the mesmerizing image of Alexander, The Man Who Knows. He knows the card you picked, and he knows where it is after the deck is shuffled. A card is selected (no force), returned to the deck and riffle shuffled several times. Noticing that there are nine numbers on The Clock of Alexander, the spectator deals the deck into nine piles. The spectator is now asked to stare into the clock and choose (no force) any one of the nine numbers found on the clock. Suddenly a small crystal ball appears on the pedestal. He is given a magnetic pawn which sticks to the clock, and asked to move the pawn three times around the clock using his chosen number. He arrives at a new number on the clock. From there he moves through a branching path inside the clock using his same original number and arrives at his final number. Using that final number, he picks up the corresponding packet from the nine piles. He deals cards into two hands and each time eliminates his own cards. This is repeated until only one card remains. That card is turned over and found to be the original selected card.
