Here's a trick that will amaze your friends.
You will need a deck of cards and a phone. You will also need a little practice with a partner.
First, have someone choose a card. Show it to your audience. Next, announce that you can use your mind to show the card to someone blocks away. Then telephone your partner. Only you can hear as your partner says, "Hearts... clubs. spades... diamonds." When you hear the suit that matches the card, interrupt. Say, "Read my mind!" That's how you let your partner know which suit to name. Next, your partner should count slowly from ace to king. When you hear the value of the card, interrupt again. Say, "Now!
Name the card." Quickly hand the phone to the person holding the card. Your partner then names the card. Everyone will think it's magic!
