You are now the mind reader. Scroll down and read the script below...

Prepare to be astounded, astonished and amazed!

My name is… [say your name]

I am the greatest mind reader in the whole world!

Let me show you – we’ll use this deck of cards

Ready? Please take the cards out of the box and shuffle them

Now cut the deck and complete the cut

Look at the top card and remember it. Don’t let me see it!

Put that card anywhere back in the deck then shuffle the deck again

Now give the deck to me

Ok, let me concentrate
[strike the mind reader’s pose…]

I will now remove one single card from the deck and place it face down on your hand

Think about the card you chose

Was it a red card or a black card?

I knew that

Was it a picture card or was it a number card?

I knew that too; I am the greatest mind reader in the world you know!

Please say your card out loud

Now, turn over the card on your hand and gasp with astonishment!

‍BOOM!

‍Thank you very much!

Now let me buy you a drink for watching my trick
