A few cards bearing names of different countries are handed over to a spectator. He is instructed to mix the cards in a face down manner & place the cards face down on the table. After the spectator has completed shuffling, the performer places an envelope containing a prediction on the table & hands over a playing die to the spectator. The die is rolled by the spectator & the top spot on the die is noted. The cards are now picked up by the spectator & based on the top most number on the die all the cards are discarded except one. The prediction is now taken out from the envelope & it is found to be a picture of the flag of the same country which is written on the card selected by the spectator. The spectator now turns the envelope around & on the other side is the number which corresponds to the number of spots on the top of the rolled die.
Key points:
(i) Spectator mixes the cards himself & at no point does the performer gain possession of the cards.
(ii) Die can be rolled as many times as the spectator wishes before he finally selects the number on top. Die is not loaded.
(iii) The prediction is placed in front of the spectator even before the die is rolled & remains throughout the experiment.
(iv) Everything may be thoroughly examined.
(v) No Stooges or Pre-show work involved.
(vi) May Be repeated instantly with varying outcomes.
