About Time by Vincent Hedan

Turn a gimmicked wristwatch into a source of varied moments of magic with About Time, a book by Vincent Hedan. Its six effects and two bonus routines explore ways to bring the theme of time into close-up, walk-around, and stage performances.

• Eight routines — Explore six effects and two bonus routines designed for a gimmicked watch with a remote control.
• Multiple performance settings — Choose material for close-up, walk-around, or stage, with routines ranging from quick and light to more personal and emotionally engaging.
• Distinctive ideas — Includes an adaptation of the Invisible Deck, a Christmas tale, a borrowed-object sequence, a historical divination, and an interactive routine for multiple participants.
• Practical thinking — Find guidance on presentation, writing, structure, audience attention, participant involvement, and using simple technical constraints.
• Watch-model appendix — Read Vincent Hedan’s analysis of Pitata, Iarvel, and SB gimmicked watches, including his preferences and use of the prop.

This English-language softcover has 140 pages, more than 20 illustrations, white paper, and a glued binding. It measures 5.5 × 8.5 inches (13 × 21 cm). No watch is included; the material is for owners of a Pitata, Iarvel, or SB wristwatch with a remote control.

Use the book to choose one watch effect for the moment, then let the time-themed magic become part of a broader performance rather than the focus of the whole show.
