Description
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.
