For almost 10 years this has been Peter's biggest selling trick in Europe & the USA.

Use any pocket diary. Completely self-working. No reset.

Effect: To begin, you hand a spectator your diary for examination - you point out that each day in the diary has the name of a playing card entered against it.

Next you bring out six blank business cards. You write something on one of the cards, without showing it to the audience. This card is left on the table...

As anyone giving public performances wishes to be sure he will be able to accomplish what he starts out to do, this is a big asset.
