Description & Effect

Details

Get ready to add a true powerhouse to your repertoire! Mark Elsdon's 'Workers Diary', a cornerstone effect cherished by professional magicians worldwide, is finally back and better than ever. Endorsed by none other than Dave Forrest, who raves, "I opened my Magic Castle show with this effect last year. It's a trick I've done consistently in all performing environments over the years and it never - NEVER - fails to ABSOLUTELY SLAY!"

This re-release takes a classic and updates it for the modern performer. You'll receive a specially gaffed deck along with a sleek, space-saving 'souvenir' style diary – perfect for pocket carry. But the innovation doesn't stop there! You also gain exclusive access to a specially compiled Google Diary, meaning you can perform this incredible effect with nothing more than your smartphone, eliminating the need to carry any physical diary at all!

The effect itself is elegantly simple and devastatingly powerful:

A spectator is presented with a diary, each day of the year inscribed with a unique playing card. They effortlessly locate their birthday to discover their special 'birthday card.' They can confirm that any other date would yield a different card, yet when you produce their chosen card from a deck, it stands out as the *only* red card in an otherwise blue deck, and, as a final magical touch, "Happy Birthday" is boldly written on its back!

Prepare to amaze! This trick is MIND BLOWING, completely SELF-WORKING, and, as its title suggests, an absolute WORKER'S DREAM. Download instantly and start performing this incredible piece of magic today!

Mark Elsdon's 'Workers Diary' is finally available again!

"I opened my Magic Castle show with this effect last year. It's a trick I've done consistently in all performing environments over the years and it never - NEVER - fails to ABSOLUTELY SLAY!"
Dave Forrest

And, this re-release brings this powerhouse effect bang up to date. Along with the special deck, the new release includes a 'souvenir' style diary that takes up practically no pocket space at all.

But, better than that, you will also get access to a specially compiled Google Diary meaning you don't need to carry an actual diary at all - it's right there on your phone!

The effect is as straightforward as they come:

A spectator is shown a diary that has a playing card written against every day of the year. They are asked to look up their birthday to find out what their 'birthday card' is. They can check to see that, a different date would definitely have resulted in a different card and yet, when you remove their birthday card from the deck it is the only red card in a blue deck AND it has 'Happy Birthday' written on its back!

It's MIND BLOWING. It's SELF WORKING and the big clue is in the title - it's a WORKER'S DREAM!
