Magic
Recreational Math
Legacy
We, on behalf of ThinkFun, would like to submit a physical gift based on a personal letter sent from Martin Gardner to one of our founders, Bill Ritchie, in 1994. We will submit photocopies of the letter, which describes how to perform the magic trick. We will also include the pieces needed to perform the magic trick.

A "Pick a Card" Card
Magic
Recreational Math
A card (roughly the size of an index card) with an image that contains 54 playing cards (some duplicates, of course!). A spectator chooses one of the playing cards and, after a few questions, the magician reveals the choice!
The premise is similar to the well-known “pick a number” cards where binary representations are used to identify a mystery number that a spectator has chosen. In this case, the spectator will select any card that he/she sees, and indicate the colors of the squares in which this card is found. The magician then reveals the thought-of card!
Instructions will be printed on the back of the card.

How Safe Is It?
Rec Math
Magic
A spectator, with good arithmetical abilities, opens an invisible safe and deposits some invisible coins in it. The magician has the spectator do some arithmetic, receives the final result and then correctly opens the safe and retrieves the correct number of coins, except that the coins are now real!
