-Sid Lorraine suggested that Oswald Williams was probably inspired in his creation of "Watch Your Watch" by Wright and Larsen's "The Ghost Watch" in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38308/The+Sphinx/11|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 26 No. 5, Jul. 1927, p. 167. The effects do have strong points of resemblance, particularly in their use of a holdup presentation. The Wright and Larsen trick uses a pocket watch, which disappears from a paper cone and reappears back on its watch chain.
