Stack Watch

I love the whole concept of this watch it has opened me up to the world of stacking a deck!
The only reasons for the four stars is the minutes are a bit unclear for lining up the cards on the card dial and the Ace and 4 also 2 and 7 can be easily misread for people with poor eyesight.
Just as a side note the tutorial for the watch is worth the price of the watch alone!

I treid learning the Mnemonica Stack and just couldn't do it. So when I saw this watch existed to help learn the order and have a built in cheat sheet, along with the sale price of $45, I decided to give it a try. I had to wait until they came back in stock as they sold out quick!

I am quite pleased with the watch. I needed a new watch anyway and this tells time well. In addition, the hands are luminous so you can tell time in the dark. The black watch is stylish and goes well with formal or casual. My wife didn't even realize it was gimmicked! I am quite pleased with the purchase and now this watch is part of my everyday carry. And I have a built in cheat sheet to use the Mnemonica Stack without pressure. Thank you Ellusionist for making this affordable and available! Order quick or they may sell out again and you'll have to wait like I did!

I've heard of stack tricks for a long time and the watch is actually helping me slowly pick up on the order - this is so tight!

What a killer and devious tool. It can be difficult to adjust the band links. I had some challenges with changing the band links and Ellusionist support came through with honors. The instructional video’s are well done and you need to listen to all of them or you may miss some important information. Disappointed that that Peter did not do more performance videos, he indicated in the videos that he would.

The stack watch is an incredible addition to my repertoire! It opens up so many more possibilities! Worth every penny!

I use a different approach to the stack and the watch just kicks right in!!!

I already own the v2 stack watch and love it as stylish and elegant as it is but as they say black goes with everything the og stack watch ⌚ is always in my EDC can't wait to see what other wearable accessories Ellusionist comes up with next 😁

I have an excellent memory. I practice my memory daily. Every once in a while with Mnemonica I still forget something. This watch takes the guess work out. It is very well made. It looks fantastic. The bezel doesn't click so you can move it without anyone knowing. From a distance the markings look like lines. No one is going to take a second look at the watch and think anything is going on. Truly exceptional work. I love using it.

Buying on Ellusionist is buying quality. Its easy to know what type of magic you are gonna get, because of his well produced videos on every item. Also it has a lot of offers, discounts on products and a lot of payment methods and options than brings you facilities to your experience on the website. High recomended!

Heavier than expected, which is good, I like the weight.

The stack watch originally peaked my interest for the modern and sleek design. The black glossy band complimented with the beautiful face design for the watch, and all tied together with the hidden treasure of being an added feature to my magic routine. This watch is well worth your time (pun not intended). It helps me find the motivation to improve my craft of memorization in stack decks and gives the incentive of updating my wardrobe in the process. This stack watch, also comes with neat features that are guaranteed to surprise you upon delivery. Definitely a quality purchase. 10/10! Thank you for the brilliant minds this product!!

I love these… good quality and memonica is really awesome

Gotta say, this is not only a really nice, good looking, solid timepiece, but it's also been an excellent tool in helping me to learn stack. All around one of my favorite purchases.

The watch has a quite good quality/price ratio, the only downside is the ring with the stack on it which has a little slack and so cling on the glass each time you move. Other wise I'm quite satisfied. Every person which saw the watch, even those who know I do magic and that it was related to it, never suspected a thing after reading it.

The watch that i recieved is very beautifully constructed. I know that it will require time and effort to use the craft that this watch offers, yet with anything worth while requires effort. I will be purchasing another one just to collect.

This is a best tool for magicians.the affects that can be done with this is limitless and mindblowers

These are great looking watches. I own both V1 and V2. I have trouble memorizing the Mnemonica stack and sometimes forget where/what the card is, but with this help of this watches, I can do miracles/magic now confidently.

I put 4 stars and not 5 because the closure system of the watch strap is a bit light, it opens too easily, I will have to change the strap I think, otherwise the watch is cool, look forward to it try it live

Very nice watches better not have fat wrist though.

Very useful easy to use the routines are worth the money the watch is just an extra

I am very happy with the watch overall as a watch. I got it because I love watches and that is enough for me, but... If you want to use it for the intended purpose, first I would recommend you get the version 2. (I write this late) There are few mechanical differences that make the V2 better. Secondly if you have not invested any time in learning the stack, then it will be actually very difficult to use the watch for the intended purpose. Be aware. Other than that, if you like the idea, get yourself one and you will find a way to use it to your advantage and amaze people!

This a clever product, to me it’s more a collectible or an ode to memorized deck.
Nice tool to practice :)

Performing Mnemonica during a walk around show is great, but 2 hours per night with loud music, people shouting and all the distractions can be a nightmare when trying to remember the stack or doing the calculations. The Stack watch is your safe net.

As someone who is already familiar with Juan Tamariz's Mnemonica stack, I find that this saves a lot of mental calculation after the deck has been cut and the order altered, especially when you're under pressure. This makes ACAAN type effects smoother. If you're pretending to memorise the deck it's logical to glance at your watch as you announce that you will perform this feat of memory in so many number of seconds. If you're not familiar with the stack but would like to do some of the effects associated with a stack, this is a useful crib. There is a nice vegan strap (metal links) which can be adjusted with an included tool. If you need to catch a bus it also works as a watch.
Also look at Stack Watch 2 which has an additional feature for time prediction.
Make sure you subscribe to Peter Turner's social media as he keeps coming up with a myriad of ideas using the Stack Watch by itself and in combination with other effects.

Just got this on the mail about 2 hours ago and already tested the basic ACAAN that Pete teaches on the video and nailed it twice.
I performed it twice in a row cause the first selection was the 4 of clubs which is like the best case scenario, did it again and despite of what I thought it didn’t take me long to find the selected card on the dial which was my major concern since my eyesight is not that great.

I have the new version of the stack watch so , I am not sure about the first version but the dial is not loose , it stays in place, it doesn’t click if you were wondering, the cards on the dial are big enough to read easily but not so big so people will notice it on your watch at a glance.
The leather band is genuine leather , the white face is beautiful and looks like most of my high end real watches that I own.
I know that by using it often I’ll eventually memorize mnemónica which is the best thing to do but , meanwhile , I am just going to abuse this watch to do mnemónica routines.
It works , it looks great , just impressed someone twice and great reactions both times. I highly recommended it.

AMAZING CONCEPT. But not sure I will be able to use it because you need to have pretty good sight, specially performing in low light environments.

I am really interested in learning the mnemonica stack and the tricks you can do with it but my memory is not great, perhaps due to my age! This watch has helped me out massively! Its a good quality watch and the routines you get with it are amazing and Peter Turner even teaches you some forces which have been brilliant to perform! The only downside is the bezel which does move too quickly but lots of people have mentioned that and its a very minor defect. I will be using this watch more now!

As another reviewer said I'm a little split on this watch, because the watch is a terrific idea but very poor execution.

I hate to be the realist here, but for everyone claiming to be a watch guy, either we got two different watches or you don't know what you are looking at. To be fair the one I received was not scratched and they had wrapped most of it in a plastic sheeting to protect the finish. However, the finish is thin lacquer which is going to rub off if you try everyday use. The bezel is fairly loose, spinning with extremely little resistance to hold it's setting, and had play when lifting it slightly away from the face. Ultimately I would worry how much more play would be introduced with use. The case casting is okay, but has roughly finished edges. The watchband as other have alluded to, is garbage; the steel band has a thinly applied finish. The links split while I was trying to resize the watch and every pin I pulled was bent at least slightly. While the watch states it's waterproof, if you're too rough on it and expose it to salt water I suspect it will show surface rust. The Japanese quartz ultra Sl68 movements are probably a mostly chinese part, possibly at best assembled in Japan. In simple terms, as a watch only it's poorly made.

In terms of a Mnemonica Decoder though, it does what it says it will and is a pretty valuable tool. If you take what I paid $50 dollars, say $10-15 dollar watch and $35-40 dollar trick, well you still get what you pay for; because of this I gave it four stars.

Ultimately I would have preferred a nicer watch which I realize would raise the price point. This one isn't suited for wearing everyday, at best you could wear it to perform. Hopefully in the future there might be more options.

This is a very good product, I was scared about this because other reviews said that the watch came scratched or that the dial turns to easy but I have had a problem with mine, the only problem I did run into was the resizing, I have very small wrists and I wish you could remove more from the band but you can only pop out 4 and even with removing all the links the watch still fits pretty lose so I have to wear it over my sleeve. other than that I would say this is a good tool to use for mnemonica and would highly recommend it.
