Chris Congreave’s take on the diary effect is an absolute killer! His self-working approach combines the classic diary effect with a card at any number plot.
365 Is a commercial, entertaining performance piece and ideal for close up parlour or stage.
Just set up your own diary and you’re ready to go.
Effect
Your spectator is handed a pocket diary and asked to turn to their birthday or a day which has some meaning to them.They will see you have written a lucky number by their selected date (this you claim was worked out via the use of numerology)
A deck of cards which have been sitting on the table since the beginning is now removed from its case. The cards may be shuffled if you so wish.
The cards are shown to be different and your spectator is asked to deal to his lucky number.This is done fairly and the card he lands on is the very same card as your prediction which is also held in the diary.
No Multiple Outs
No Fishing
No Memory Work
No Sleight Of Hand
Totally Self Working
Instant Reset
Prediction May Be Held And Handled By The Spectator At All Times
Spectator Deals The Cards
Always The Card At Their exact Number
*Supply your own diary
From: Mike Lee
This is a great trick to have in your jacket. The handling could not be any easier and with a little thought on presentation I would challenge any magician not to be using it within hours.
The effect is instant and the ability to give cards away mean that you can personalise it with your business details
Great trick thanks
Question: Can they also examen the cards? Or is it only the diary they can examen?
Answer: The cards can shown at the begining of the effect. The diary is gaff free
Question: Hi Peter,
similar principle as "Streamline Trilogy" (for me still one of the strongest card-tricks ever...) ?
you only need as many identical cards on the backside of the deck as the highest number in the diary (maybe 30) is. Rest of the deck (from the front) are different (to be shown).....
regards Jürgen
Answer: no this does not use thin cards
