The performer uses his deck, or a borrowed deck and shuffles it, then haves a spectator select a card.
The spectator is given a pocket diary and shown that there is a card printed under each date.
The spectator is instructed to look up his or her selected date, and the card written below it matches the selected card! Easy to do. No stack or set-up. Simply stick this little diary in your pocket and you are ready to perform any time!
