Did you enjoy Russian roulette with a revolver? What if you tried it with grenades?
4 defused grenades, 1 armed. 4 red spot cards, 1 Queen of Spades.
The objective is simple: pull the pins on 4 grenades without blowing yourself up.
A spectator shuffles the cards and hands them to you at random, one at a time. You delicately take each card between two fingers and gently shake it, turning your head to the side as if listening carefully. You are able to determine by sound whether the grenade is armed or not. If the grenade is armed, you place the card face down on the table. Otherwise, you pull the pin and turn the card face up.
You can repeat the experiment, and each time you manage to avoid the armed grenade and pull the pins on all the others.
- No peek.
- No marked cards.
- Can be done with a borrowed deck.
- A completely different method from my previous Russian Roulette routine.
