Calendar Conjuring

Calendars may be used effectively in mental routines, and for that reason, the following ideas may be of interest to those who are looking for something just a bit different. It makes a nice close-up stunt as well as a fine program item for large audiences when larger size calendars are used.

Effect

The performer proposes to tell any four dates that are marked off by a spectator. Tear a sheet from a calendar pad and give it to him with a pencil. He is toma rk a square around any four dates, as illustrated in the first of the three calendar sheets reproduced below. When the spectator announced the total of the four dates he has circled, you immediately announce the four separate figures making up the total.
