Description & Effect

Rediscover the Powerhouse: Mark Elsdon's Workers Diary

Prepare to add a true gem to your magical arsenal with the highly anticipated re-release of Mark Elsdon's legendary 'Workers Diary,' now presented by David Forrest. This is more than just a trick; it's a reputation-maker, a routine that magic luminaries like Dave Forrest himself have relied on to open their shows at prestigious venues like the Magic Castle. Forrest attests to its unparalleled impact, stating it 'never - NEVER - fails to ABSOLUTELY SLAY!' This updated instant download package brings a proven classic into the modern age, offering convenience, versatility, and an effect that will leave your audience utterly bewildered.

The Unforgettable Birthday Card Revelation

Imagine this: you present a beautifully designed diary to your spectator, explaining that each day of the year has a unique playing card written next to it. They are invited to look up their birthday, discovering their personal 'birthday card.' The beauty of this effect lies in its apparent simplicity and the impossibility that follows. The spectator can verify that any other chosen date would yield a different card. Yet, when you dramatically reveal a deck of cards, their specific 'birthday card' is the only one of a different color (e.g., red in an all-blue deck) and, astonishingly, has 'Happy Birthday' elegantly inscribed on its back! It's a moment of pure, unadulterated magic that resonates personally with every participant.

Modern Convenience Meets Classic Deception

This re-release of the 'Workers Diary' isn't just a reprint; it's a significant upgrade. Your instant download includes the crucial special deck required to perform this miracle. But beyond the cards, David Forrest has thoughtfully enhanced the delivery methods for the diary itself. You'll receive a clever 'souvenir' style diary, designed to take up virtually no pocket space – perfect for the strolling performer. Even better, you gain exclusive access to a specially compiled Google Diary. This innovative solution means you don't even need to carry a physical diary; it's always accessible on your phone, ready at a moment's notice. The 'Workers Diary' is truly self-working and delivers maximum impact with minimal effort, living up to its title as a 'worker's dream' for any serious magician.

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!
