Hi Magic Friends,
I am looking for an effect which uses the date of the day on which I am performing. I would like an effect were the outcome is the day's date, maybe something along the lines of a 'Magic Square' however the outcome is the date. I seem to recall seeing an effect of this nature but cant remember whom it was by. Is there anything out there that I would benefit from looking in to?
Thanks in advance.
Dean

Few specs each pick a number.. multiply them together and get today's date.
Lots of methods to achieve this; with or without a prop.
Context can be anything from 'connections' to 'suggestion' to 'hypnosis'.

What "date" are you performing on?

Hypothetical,

Add a number...many methods depending on the group...billets and a box are really fun as you get a lot of participation...add a number pad, but dates are usually 4 or 6 digit numbers, large teleport envelope...

I have used billets and the Benedict Box for my stage show to great effect.

Cheers

Check out mark Paul's site, he may have what you are looking for. I can't exactly remember the name of the effect but it's in his lecture notes I believe.

I have used Marc Paul´s method from the "Fleetwood Notes" several times, and can also recommend this.

I second that!
The routine is called "Summing UP".
Highly recommended!

Another vote for Fleetwood Notes
Summing Up and the other effects are just brilliant.
