Experience Wayne’s Unique Take on the Classic Diary Card Effect
Wayne has reimagined the timeless Diary Card effect, making it incredibly easy to perform. This routine requires absolutely NO STACKS, NO ARITHMETIC, NO MEMORIZING, NO CRIBS, NO SLEIGHT OF HAND, and utilizes just ONE DIARY with an INSTANT RESET.
The effect is not only powerful but also features an intriguing Houdini theme that captivates audiences. You present the trick Houdini himself claimed as his favorite card trick, using a vintage diary that you’ve obtained from his original collection.
Houdini, known for his fascination with the occult, wrote the name of a playing card next to each date in his diary, believing that certain cards resonated with specific days. The spectator is invited to choose any significant date, allowing for a genuine and free selection.
As you reveal the deck, all cards are blue-backed except for one unique red-backed card that features Houdini’s signature. The spectator then confirms that the cards for their chosen week are all different. To their astonishment, the card corresponding to their selected date turns out to be the same card that Houdini noted on the day his beloved dog passed away.
You will appreciate the beautifully crafted antique diary and photograph, designed by Bob Gill and produced by Alan Wong specifically for this effect. Most importantly, Wayne’s hilarious comedic presentation adds an extra layer of enjoyment to this routine, making it a delight to perform every time.
