This a great trick that you can do over and over again and never get caught. It's a simple card trick that will give you the powerful illusion of being incredibly psychic. No matter how many times they watch you do this trick, they'll never guess how you do it. This the way the trick will seem to your audience. You simply get a audience member to choose any nine cards from a deck. You tell them to make sure you aren't cheating, you won't event touch the deck. You have them lay out the cards in a three by three grid. You explain to them that once they lay the cards out, you will leave the room. You further instruct them that in order to really make sure there's nothing fishy going on, they shouldn't even touch the card, merely point it out so the other audience members know which card they chose. They can say it out loud if they want, but it's not required. All they need to do is briefly indicate which one they chose. You leave the room, and come back. You then read their minds, and immediately pick up the card they chose. You can do this as often as you want, with as many different people as you want, and you will always choose the correct card. Even if they change the cards every time, or change the person choosing, you'll get it right, each time. Here's the trick. The only thing you need is a silent helper in the audience. Beforehand, agree on which fingers on both of their hands will correspond to each of the nine cards. Simply have them bend only that finger briefly when you walk back into the room. Merely a glance at their hand is all you need, and you are ready to proceed. A great way to cover your tracks, is to glance at their finger right away, then glance quickly at the grid of cards. As soon as you know what card it is, you can pick any number of ways to reveal this. Some quick, like just picking up their card, or some extremely drawn out, like putting all the cards back together, and searching through the deck while making a big show of trying hard to read their mind. This is a simple trick and only requires that your helper not spill the beans. One really cool way to reveal this is to immediately pick up the nine cards once you return, put them back in the deck, and then leave the room again with all the cards. Then after about five minutes, come back with only their card. They will usually be stunned beyond belief. Have fun.
