Devious Dates by Peter Duffie
Prepare to amaze your audience with Devious Dates, a groundbreaking magic trick by Peter Duffie that’s completely self-working and requires no reset. This ingenious routine can be performed using any pocket diary, making it versatile and easy to use.
The Effect
Imagine handing a spectator your diary for examination. Each day in the diary has the name of a playing card entered against it, which the spectator verifies before pocketing the diary. But here’s the twist – you can customize the diary with anything you desire: names, phone numbers, words, symbols, etc.
Next, you introduce six blank business cards. Write a prediction on one of the cards without showing it to the audience and leave it on the table. Take the remaining five cards and openly write different numbers on both sides of each. A spectator freely chooses any month and takes the corresponding numbered card, ensuring no changes of mind later.
Another audience member mixes the remaining cards and lays them on the table, flipping over a couple to ensure a random set of numbers. The upper four numbers are added together. For example, they might total 20. The spectator is then asked to look up the 20th day in the chosen month, say May, and the card written against that date might be the 4C. Finally, your prediction is revealed, matching the 4C exactly!

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. This he can verify as he studies the diary, before putting it in his pocket. (Note: it doesn’t need to be playing cards – you can fill the diary with anything you desire – people’s names, phone numbers, words, symbols, etc.)
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 in full view. You will never touch it again. (Note: instead of writing a prediction, you could hand out a sealed envelope containing the prediction.)
Taking up the remaining five business cards, you openly write different numbers on both sides of each card. A spectator now names any month (completely free choice) and takes the card that represents his month. He might think of MAY so he takes the card with the number 5 – this ensures that he doesn’t change his mind later.
Another audience member (or you can use the one spectator throughout) now mixes the remaining cards and lays them on the table. He flips over a couple of cards (totally free choice) to ensure he has a completely random set of numbers.
The upper 4 numbers are now simply added together. They might total 20. “OK, please look up the 20th day in May.” The card written against that date might be the 4C. Finally, your prediction is turned over to reveal that you wrote that very card – 4C!
Everything can be left for inspection.
