Well, let's talk about the positives. This is essentially a prediction effect. It uses a diary which is very nice looking and well produced.

It has a brainwave type feel to it with the one odd card out thing going. I'm sure from the spectators perspective it's rather impressive.

The humorous routine and patter is fun but doesn't save the trick.

The negative is that the method is nothing exciting and no doubt if you have been around magic for any length of time have come across similar methods.

Like the other reviewers mentioned the card cannot be examined. This trick has the feel where it would be nice to let the spectator keep the card as a memento as well, which you cant. The gimmick card is also not made from genuine bicycle stock.

The diary itself will also not stand up to thorough scrutiny. Which for me is ok because they really have no reason to, so don't let them.

Over all I wouldn't recommend this, especially at 30$ the diary is nice but who cares.
