Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

I've just bought myself the additional 'Heirloom' pack with Chronologue matched photo's in it. I think it'll make a nice enhancement.

Yes, that is a fine combo!

Just tried the Chronologue/Heirloom combo at a reunion of some old university friends who I haven't seen for years.

Using the Heirloom cards is really only a cosmetic difference to the standard playing card reveal but oh, what a difference. It blew their socks clean off their feet and all the way into the car park! Best reaction from Chronologue I have ever had.

Not sure why it should make such a difference but the sight of an ancient relative holding the chosen card even surprised me when I saw it! Highly recommended!

Great! I will try that! Thanks for the tip....I did it Friday night and the woman chose her anniversary. The card was the five of diamonds, so I suggested to her husband that for the next anniversary he should buy her a ring with 5 diamonds on it!

Cheers

Anyone know where I can get this? Tried looking at a few magic websites but no one seems to stock it (Alakazam, emagic tricks, Magic Nevin, Magic Tricks, More Magic Tricks, Magicbox).

Currently showing "Out of Stock" unfortunately. I don't know if it's available anywhere else but they have an " Email me when this item is in stock" link (which I have used with them before and it does work).

Heirloom bonus pack is available from Alakazam.

Hope that helps.

It's gone from Alakazam's website, but they are still selling the 'Mental Miracles' DVD, which contains instructions on how to make your own one.

Thanks, guys. The DVD looks good - another item for my wish list.

The other routines on the DVD are worth releasing in their own right.

Don't think these are just some extra fillers. I would have paid this amount for any of them.

My personal favourite is the one memorizing a shuffled deck of cards in less than 20 seconds. It's a killer closer.

I don't know if there's a demo at Alakazam but Elmwood have one.

A tip for those of you with the DVD making it yourself - you WILL get it wrong, even just once or twice, and it's not great to use tippex etc. as it's supposed to look really random.

Solution? Use little stickers from WHSmiths etc instead. Write out (or get your better half to write out ) "the necessary" on a sheet of stickers, then stick one on each day. You're far less likely to choose the wrong sticker than write the wrong card, and even if you do you can probably just about peel it off neatly. Job's a good'un

Another tip!! use a dark pencil (no tippex required just an eraser)

Oh, by the way, I think www.topsecretmagic.co.uk has the trick for 30 quid.

Good tip! Although I just used a pen without an error, but boy is that tiring....

Did this last night....single diary...one date chosen...card on that date matches the one in the envelope...I think it went down well...

I bought the diaries, got a nice pen all set to start writing then it dawned on me the mammoth talk in front….. that was late 2006 and I have jet to do it.

Is it really that bad ??

Not sure what you mean?
