Effect: Spectator names ANY DATE, such as a birthday. Then a card is selected. An image of the selected card is found printed on the named date in the pocket calendar. This is a No-Memorizing Card to Calendar Prediction.
Price includes shipping. Product includes the paperback PreDate calendar in a black vinyl sleeve. Printed comic book style instructions, How to perform PreDate without a card stack. How to perform the Deceptive Slip Force. Also includes a link to the video instructions.
Just flip through the back pages to be guided in the patter: “Why is a calendar like a deck of cards?” “52 cards and 52 weeks. 4 suits and four seasons, 13 ranks and 13 lunar cycles. If you add all the numbers in the deck plus 1 for the joker you get 365.”
Show there’s a different card printed on every day of the year. But their selected card is printed on their selected date.
This version uses the Mnemonica stack. See other product using the Aronson stack.
The routine doesn’t require any memorization, but if you have a card stack memorized, then you can perform it without looking at the secret key.

REVIEW from Vanish Magazine:
“Bob has created a really great and practical little piece of magic here and a good addition to the calendar premise.

–Paul Romhany, Vanish Magazine
BobMagic –
“One nice feature of Bob Miller’s PreDate is that there are options for all skill levels to make the effect as deceptive as you wish. But the really great thing about this clever calendar routine is that your personality will enhance it. You will find your own way to introduce synchronicity, coincidence, kismet, chance, or fate into the conversation. The lively graphics of Bob Miller’s calendar will further the mystery, and if you play it right, a significant date in the life of your spectator will seem to be known to you in advance. How else could the climax be explained? You will establish a personal connection with the person you are entertaining—and who knows where the relationship might lead? This trick could facilitate your success at speed dating, or make you a fortune. It’s all in your hands. Buy it. All this for only $30? How can it be?”
