Casio Magic Watch

Just when we were beginning to think that the well of watch innovation had run dry, Casio comes along and renews our faith in multi-use timepieces, with a watch that not only tells time, but does magic! The appropriately-named Casio Magic Watch was created with the assistance of close-up magician Tomohiro Maeda, who may or may not be responsible for the totally 80s-inspired design, but most definitely is the man behind the five tricks the watch can help you perform, including guessing the number or card that a person is thinking of or roping your friends into a little con game. For some old school magic, each watch also comes bundled with an exclusive set of Tomohiro Maeda playing cards from Tally-Ho, though you'll have to decide if that's enough to justify the $80 price tag.

thats kind of lame, the cards have nothing to do with the "trick" watch... it seems it only does basic number guessing tricks (probably the same lame ones one thousands of websites).... I was hoping for something a little more exciting like a deck of RFID embedded cards that would work with the watch to tell what card was picked etc....

Watch closely as I leave the $80 in my wallet.

FYI: What you're referring to is properly termed "illusions". A trick is something a whore does for money... or candy.

That just made my day. I feel like the prettiest girl at the dance.

Admittedly, though, $80 is a perfectly reasonable price even if it were a completely ordinary watch.

The biggest trick of all is getting someone to buy it

MattB, Johnny English, & Everette--- you're all so witty.. maybe you can try writing for Engadget.

Make it disappear! Make it disappear! Magic watch. BAH! HUMBUG!

My $80 would be better spent helping a homeless person.

Merry Christmas!

Accessories for pale, balding, single, friendless, socially awkward dorks are finally here! Hooray!

This is the perfect gift for that special loser in your life. Magic sucks.

Yep. Magic sucks. That's why David Copperfield is one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world.
