Here’s a simple trick that will give you a powerful aura of amazing psychic ability. Because this trick is based purely on mathematics, it always works. The more you can talk this trick up before and after, the better. This works especially well at parties, when you choose someone to be the “mark,” and everybody else watches.

Here’s the simple caper. I’ll ask you to do the same things you’ll ask the folks your playing the hoax on to do, so you can witness how it works. First, think of a digit between one and ten. Next, take that number, and multiply it by nine. If it’s a two digit number, add them together. Now take off five. Got it?

Now you take the number and match it with the corresponding letter of the alphabet, with A=1, B=2, etc. Got it? Brilliant. Now think of a nation in Europe that starts with that letter. Got it? Ok, now go onward in the alphabet one letter. Got it? Now consider of a circus animal that begins with that letter. OK? What tint is that animal? OK, so now, you’re most likely thinking of a gray elephant from Denmark, right?

This works since any number you start off with, you’ll constantly end up with four. Try this with all the numbers from one through ten and you’ll see. As long as you specific a state from Europe, most people will pick Denmark. And as long as you go up one more letter (E), most people will settle on elephant, and then unsurprisingly gray.

There are quite a few ways to expose this trick. They best way is to in fact write “Gray Elephant From Denmark” on a piece of paper, fold it up, and bestow it to the person you are playing the trick on. Then have them tell you their response, and have them take out the folded up piece of paper out of their pocket and read it out loud.

This works magnificent at parties when they are a few people watching. Unless the individual knows this trick, and is knowingly trying to throw you off, they will almost always end up with a gray elephant from Denmark. This works notably well with kids, and have them as a group come up with the country, and the animal, etc., before having them open up the magic sheet of paper. Have fun with this.
