Vintage Murrays Magic Novelty Now Is The Hour Card Effect Trick HTF Effect

Description

Vintage and hard to find - Murrays Magic Novelty "Now is the Hour" card effect
Effect: The hours of a clock provide a thrilling and colorful triple surprise.  Introduced is a wallet containing a prediction card, and a pack of 25 cards with 25 different back designs.   Assistant visualizes the face of a clock and mentally selects any hour.  Assistant takes one card from the pack for every hour mentally selected (this is done while magician's back is turned).  Magician lays 12 cards on the table in the pattern of a clock.  Assistant reveals the hour mentally selected, takes the card at the mentally selected hour and places it in the center of the clock pattern.  The prediction card is removed from the wallet and layed next to the selected card.  The back of the selected card and prediction card match (these are the only two cards with matching backs).  The two cards are turned face up; the faces also match (example: 3 of hearts).   Assistant turns face up all the remaining face down cards.  Each and every card is seen to be the same (examples: kings of spades), but different then the assistant's selected card and prediction card.  The cards the assistant remove (1 card for each hour mentally selected) are now revealed and turned face up.  They are also king of spades.  The only two cards that match back and face are the selected and prediction cards.
This item came from the estate of a home magician. Comes with complete instructions, and gimmicked cards needed for effect.  Please note - it appears the home magician purchased another set of this same trick and looks like he may have tried to customize for a his own personal effect.  I will include the extra instruction sheet, wallet and the cards included with the 2nd set (7).  Also - please note the faces of the cards in the complete packet appear to be different shades of white.
If you have any questions or need additional photos, please ask before purchasing.  Since you will be receiving the secret of this illusion I will not accept returns on this item.
Please see our other listings for more magic items, many vintage and hard to find, from this same magician's estate.  We will be listing more items over the coming weeks.
Thanks.
