Covert magic performance refers to the art of performing magic tricks or illusions in a secretive or hidden manner. Unlike traditional magic performances, covert magic aims to deceive and astonish the audience without them realizing that a trick is being performed. This unique style of magic often involves using props or techniques that are concealed or disguised to hide the mechanisms behind the tricks. In covert magic performances, the magician carefully selects their audience members and creates a focused and intimate setting. This allows the magician to control the environment and ensure that the audience is fully engaged and attentive to the performance. By carefully controlling what the audience sees and experiences, the magician is able to cleverly manipulate their perceptions and create an illusion of the impossible.
The bezel silently surfs around the dial and is completely bidirectional.

HOW IT WORKS - EASY, NO MEMORY ACAAN
Twist & track every card in every position of the deck. If the spectator names position 16 and the 5 of clubs, you just twist the dial to that position. Now it shows that you need to cut the 8 of hearts to the face of the deck to ensure the ACAAN is bang on.

The stack watch is a utility timepiece. A tactical decoder that just happens to be hidden on a high-quality watch. No expense spared.
The black steel band secures a Japanese movement timepiece powered by a quartz ultra SL68 movement.
No software updates and no pairing.
Luminous Absorption
Stack Watch's dial is coated with a luminous absorption material to ensure the key markers are with you 24/7.
It can go as long as you can - and beyond.
The creation
Every idea is like a rock. Every product is a polished jewel.
The jewel was ALWAYS there, under the rough exterior, but it needed exposing. That refining within this industry is where classics are born.
In mid-2019, Peter Turner approached the Ellusionist team at a Penthouse party in Las Vegas. He had the idea of putting a stack crib on a watch face. Instead of numbers, it was playing cards.
52 minutes, washed away by the more important information. The deck.
He'd had the idea for years, but has never released a device to the industry before. and didn't know where to start.
He didn't know STACK, he'd never even tried to learn it, but this new idea would make his efforts obsolete anyway. It just needed to be realized.
Fast forward 14 days and 6 hours later and a DHL delivery driver knocked his door with the very first STACK prototype.
The numbers weren't perfect, the band wasn't tailored, but it was PROOF. Proof that it DOES work.
Later that day, Geraint Clarke joined Pete on a catch-up Skype call and said "Why don't you put the cards on a silent, bidirectional bezel. Like a divers watch."
That one refinement would allow magicians to re-track the order of a mixed (cut multiple times) stacked deck, with nothing but a twist. Something that looks natural and can be done right under the spectators nose.
The STACK WATCH was born.
In the following months, the Team has received, worn, used and broken tens of prototypes in their pursuit of perfection.
Now, customers can be safe in the knowledge that this wasn't a one and done product. We've produced something for us that we can also sell. Not something to sell, that we'll never use.
