Gauging by the graphic that appears here for Clock O rama, I believe it's the same version I ordered within the past year. The ad is kinda cheesy, and, so were the cards. Whenever a deck of cards comes in a simple, white box, I know it's gonna be bad-but-I'm after secrets here.
This current version of the clock classic, is s step beyond a 1960's set of instructions I found in a magic estate sale bin. The newer effect uses bridge sized cards, with every card having a different back design BUT the prediction and selected card. Old as the principal is, it still destroys people, and I say this from experience. What's unfortunate, is that the cards here-like similar decks produced in India, are just about the cheapest stock, with possibly the lamest, most outrageous bizarre images on the backs.
Surely, SOMEONE makes a classier rainbow deck that doesn't cost a fortune! Wait-I think Rudy Hunter does. Clock o rama to me is not worth your $6.75. The trick is findable in card books, and unless you LIKE cheap rainbow cards, you will do better making your own deck, or buying Rudy Hunter's deck-which is actually a deck used for Frank Garcia's Rainbow cards.
These at least don't look like retro 70's junk. The only good thing I can say about this deck, is that it brought back fond memories of playing go-fish with my cousin back in the early seventies, with badly designed playing cards like these, all to the sound of the Carpenters playing in the background. And, I actually liked the Carpenters.
I just wish I didn't have to think of garish playing card designs whenever I happen to hear them.
Learn the secret, skip this deck.
