THE TWILIGHT ZONE Mystic Seer 1:1 Scale Prop Replica Can Be Yours!
One of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone is “Nick of Time”. It stars William Shatner and follows newlyweds Don and Pat Carter as they enter a diner in a small town and have their fortunes told to them by a machine.
That machine is the Mystic Seer and now you can own a 1:1 scale prop replica that glows in the dark. I actually have one of the original prop replicas that was released years ago. It’s one of my favorite things that I own. It was a hard item for me to find!
This one is easy to get as it’s currently up for pre-order on Entertainment Earth. This is one of their exclusives and it’ll cost you $300. It’s a must-own for any hardcore Twilight Zone fan.
The Twilight Zone Mystic Seer Glow-in-the-Dark 1:1 Scale Prop Replica:
Dedicated fans of The Twilight Zone will never forget the mysterious Mystic Seer, and you'll probably never forget the first time you laid eyes on it. This fully functioning The Twilight Zone Mystic Seer Glow-in-the-Dark 1:1 Scale Prop Replica from Bif Bang Pow! measures about 11 1/2-inches tall x 7 1/2-inches wide x 5-inches long and features an updated creepy spring-mounted devil-like red head on top and the words "Ask Me a Yes or No Question.

The Mystic Seer has a real napkin holder (napkins not included) and a coin slot with a working lever on the front that magically dispenses your “fortune”! A key opens a compartment in the front so you can retrieve your coins and try again for a fortune you might like better. The Mystic Seer is a limited edition and comes with 24 fortune cards, a certificate of authenticity, and premium packaging.
The Mystic Seer appears in "Nick of Time, the 1960 Episode #43 from Season 2 of The Twilight Zone starring William Shatner as Don S. Carter and Patricia Breslin as Pat Carter, newlyweds whose car breaks down in Ridgeview, Ohio. They choose to have lunch at the Busy Bee Cafe while waiting for the repairs to be made, and the table they sit at has a fortune teller machine that answers yes or no questions for a penny each. Superstitious Don becomes infatuated with the device's apparent ability to predict the future, thereby threatening his marriage and his future with Pat.
As Rod Serling says in the opening narration to the episode, "The hand belongs to Mr. Don S. Carter, male member of a honeymoon team on route across the Ohio countryside to New York City. In one moment, they will be subjected to a gift most humans never receive in a lifetime. For one penny, they will be able to look into the future. The time is now, the place is a little diner in Ridgeview, Ohio, and what this young couple doesn't realize is that this town happens to lie on the outskirts of the Twilight Zone.”
