Inspired by Paul Curry’s ‘Power of Thought’ and Alex Elmsley’s ‘Book of
Fortunes,’ with credit to Ted Danson for popularizing the diary and deck type
of trick. The following is a three stage routine which culminates in the
revelation of a random card in a diary against a spectator’s birth date, which
only he or she knows! The trick works itself, with only a couple of cuts to be
carried out by the performer.
