In this manuscript Steve Pellegrino shows you how to construct several gimmicks, with index cards and notepads, so that you can put away those suspicious magic shop props and have something that can be created for only a few dollars.

With one trip to Walgreens, an office supply store or even a grocery store, you will have everything you need for a sensational effect, including a way to lock the "hot" section of the gimmick from a spectator while they're adding the numbers.

The effect is analyzed with several examples of performances styles to help guide you to creating an original routine so you can make it yours!

If you've never tried this effect this manuscript will give you the confidence to perform it. If you have performed it and are looking for some creative suggestions, this will give you the motivation to look at the effect in a different light.
