The card to a calendar plot, having an emotional hook due to birthdays/anniversaries etc, has always been popular with magicians. Well imagine now, being able to do that classic effect but without the use of a traditional diary(s), but simply using the calendar on your iPhone. I bring you BIRTHDAYZ or BDZ. BDZ will secretly write a playing card of your choice to any date in the calendar. BOOM! What’s more, BDZ can also write a birthday present of your choice to that date as well! So you can predict not only the birthday card but also the birthday present too. In addition, you can add your own force lists and edit existing ones. It’s like the fantastic Digital Force Bag but using your calendar. And finally, you will also be able to tell the spectator the name of a famous person who shares their special day. Have a magical birthday. Birthdayz was created by Sean Goodman as a sequel to his effect MagiDate which was released back in 2015, Birthdayz was developed by Joshua Riley
