Method 2 of 3:Reading Minds
1Guess a magic number. This is a simple trick where you ask a person to perform some easy math that leads him to the same answer almost every time. This is what you should tell the audience member:[4]- Think of any number.
- Multiply it by 2.
- Add 8 to the total.
- Divide it by 2.
- Subtract your original number from the total.
- Remember this new number–it’s your secret number!
- Count on the alphabet until you get to the letter that goes with your secret number. (Number 1 is A, Number 2 is B, and so on.)
- Think of a European country that goes with that letter.
- Go over to the next letter of the alphabet.
- Think of a large animal that begins with that letter.
- Once the audience member has thought of it, just say, “I know what you’re thinking of…the number 4…and an elephant in Denmark!” This will work every time.
