At the 4F Convention several people told me to check out the Birthday trick. Never got a chance to see a performance but I did buy all the ones that were left at the end of the convention.
Turns out that it is called Invisible Date and is really good.
Also picked up some of the new repositionable glue sticks since the ones currently available become permanent after around five minutes.
You will also find some more of the triple autographed Marlo book I wrote about (HERE). Will explain how I got more at a later date.
►Invisible Date:
You show a boxed deck of cards which you explain has two Jokers which you wrote a prediction on.
The spectator names any date they like. The cards are then removed from the box and spread face up.
As you spread the deck, two cards are seen to be face down. When you turn over the two cards, they are the Jokers and on one of them is written the month and on the other the date which matches the freely named date by the spectator.
Works in any language since you will have to write the months and dates on the Jokers in advance, you only have to do that one time to set up the deck.

►Restickable Me:
When 3M discontinued its popular Repositionable Glue Stick, the search for a reliable alternative began. Many magicians turned to a glue stick from Elmers, as it claimed to be removable. However, in practice, the removability only lasts for about five minutes after which it becomes permanent.
But for magicians who rely on temporary adhesion and clean resets, that kind of glue isn’t practical.
Unlike ordinary glue, this will allow you to adhere items together temporarily without leaving a sticky mess or damaging your cards. Simply apply, let dry, and enjoy strong yet removable adhesion, ideal for tricks that require quick resets.

►Ed Marlo Forty Years Later:
Written completely from scratch by two people that intimately knew and studied under Ed Marlo — for more than fifteen years. You’ll find thirty-four complete routines, more than thirty-five sleights, moves, and subtleties.
These are rock-solid, audience tested and approved pieces that you will treasure. This is the first fresh look at Ed Marlo and his stunning card magic in over four decades. Ed Marlo 40 Years Later contains stories and information that you will not find anywhere else. Much of this treasured material has never been printed before. Much of this platinum Marlo material has never been properly or accurately described.

►MY LATEST RELEASE:
►Coin Copier:
This is an ingenious self-working coin box routine that Christian Scherer created in the 1980s. Since that time the manufacturing technology and the availability of the gimmicks used has advanced and the current version works perfectly.
The basic routine involves a metal box which is referred to as a tiny counterfeiting machine. You dump the four coins out of the box; a Japanese coin, a Swiss coin, a British coin and a US coin. Using the Japanese coin as a sample each coin is placed in the box and one at a time, as the box is waved over the Japanese coin, the coin inside instantly turns into a duplicate of the Japanese coin. This is repeated until all four coins have turned into Japanese coins and everything is examinable.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Was able to get Eric to autograph a few more copies of his booklet while at the Expo this week.
►Cylinder And Coins Reimagined:
Eric DeCamps breathes new life into one of magic’s most elegant and challenging coin routines. This meticulously crafted booklet is a deep dive into a stunning performance piece where four silver dollars vanish one by one, only to mysteriously reappear inside a leather cylinder — resting beneath an ordinary Life Saver. But the magic doesn’t end there. In a breathtaking finale, the coins visibly transpose back into the magician’s hand, leaving only the Life Saver resting alone under the cylinder.
