The magician places an envelope with a prediction inside on the table. He asks a volunteer to lift some cards from a deck of cards, and asks him to count and remember the number of cards. The magician takes about hall of the remaining cards and lays them out lace up on the table. He then asks the volunteer to count the same number of cards as was lifted earlier and memorize the final card. The magician then correctly predicts the number of cards lifted by the volunteer, as well as the card memorized by him. To show that his predictions are not coincidental, the magician flips over the cards to show that card memorized by the volunteer is of a different color.(Poker size- the finest Belgian-made cards/English instructions are included.)
