I just purchased a new effect called Now Is The Time by Ted Karmilovich. I think it is a semi-exclusive with Joe Stevens and costs between $100 and $150. The effect (one of many) is that, at the beginning of dinner, you give your host an envelope and ask that, sometime during dinner, they say "now is the time." Eventually when they do, you open the envelope and explain that you had a premonition earlier in the day that a particular time would be meaningful. In reliance on that premonition, you set a watch that is no longer working and wrote a prediction and sealed them in that very envelope. You show the prediction and the watch and you got it exactly right. No switches, secret writing, forces, sleights, fiddling or gimmicks to operate once the host has the envelope. As an amateur, this is a perfect trick, as it is easy to do. You practice it enough to get your presentation smooth and then it is like riding a bicycle--you just do it every so often. The method is so clever! It comes with a watch, envelope and instructions. I have a couple of other Ted K items that I also like, but don't know him personally (other than having seen him perform) and am not shilling for him. The Pros will have to pipe in on whether this is good for them, but for an amateur it is really good. Thanks, Ted, for a very clever idea!

There's a few threads on this in the penny and mentally speaking forums you may find interesting.
