Jumping Watch Publisher: El Duco Average Rating:  (1) Category: General Media Type: Trick Date Added: Mar 16th, 2003 Retail Price: $35.00 Manufacturer's Description: Two solid ropes are displayed, one red and one white. A spectator may even check them by pulling the rope. No magnets or fasteners, no loose pieces or extra loops. The spectator ties the ends of the ropes together, forming one red loop and one white loop. Again the spectator may pull on the loops to check for openings. You now borrow a spectator's wristwatch and lock it around either of the loops. The magician now takes the watch and magically links it to the other loop. Once again, the spectator may check both the knots and the watch.
