perception. You can't trust what you see, even with your own eyes, because

brain can be misled.

For coming up, cards are all different. All I want you to do is to take your

finger and point to whichever card you want and keep your finger on it.

That's the one. That's a good choice.

I'm going to show that card to everybody. I'm also going to tear off a

This will make sure that your corner will be the only matching card. Make

it is indeed a perfect match.

Is it? Come right over here for me.

We're going to put the card inside the deck. Come right this way.

The card goes inside, and I want you to shuffle the cards. Keep shuffling so
