Mind Reading

Trick Effect & Routine:

The magician walks out of the room and someone points to any object in the room. The magician returns and is able to tell what the object was.

Method:

First, work out a secret color with a friend. When the magician returns, the friend points to a few different objects and asks the magician whether or not the spectator picked it. After a few objects, the friend should point to an object with the same color as the secret color you picked earlier. This tells you that the next object will be the selected one. You can have a lot of fun with this one and even have multiple spectators pick different things.
