Effect: Three spectators secretly distribute three "Word Number Cards" (One, Two, Three) among themselves. They then select from five "Red Numeral Cards" (10,11,12,13,14) based on the magician's ambiguous instructions.

THE EFFECTS
Taking a Chance
A spectator is offered a free choice of any card from a shuffled deck. The card is returned (unseen by you) and the deck shuffled and cut. Two cards are then dealt face down on to the table. The spec is told that this is a demonstration of the power of belief - that whichever card the spectator turns over will be their chosen card if they truly believe that it will be. In a loud clear voice the spec announces "this card is the [names their card]" and to their...

Any member of the audience selects one of the four hands. No force, direct or indirect, is employed. The three packets not chosen are returned to the pack. The person holding the selected hand is requested to choose...
