I can't recommend this highly enough. The thinking behind this is absolutely brilliant. The spectator silently reads their horoscope for any month they choose, and then tells you how accurate they felt each component was. It all seems completely innocuous, but from this information, you will not only be able to know their astrological sign, you will also be able to deliver a reading on these components that is completely accurate.

From the description, I couldn't grasp how this could be possible, since it seems as if there are far too many combinations to consider... there are 12 zodiac signs, 3 months worth of horoscopes in each book, and 4 different components of each reading. Plus, the spectator offers no cues at all, other than to give you a category and their assessment of how accurate they felt it was. It seems impossible. But upon reading Quinn's manuscript, you will be awestruck by the logic he has employed to accomplish this.

One word of warning: when shopping for this, be careful which version you're buying. If you see what looks like a bargain, it is probably the version that does NOT include printed versions of the magazine props; you would be forced to print them up yourself, which, unless you have the proper materials, will probably be more expensive and certainly a lot more trouble than buying the props to begin with.
