Mentalism

Post by Black Lab »

In my spare time I like to practice mentalism, otherwise known as reading people's minds. I can even do it over the Internet. Don't believe it?

Pick a number from 1 to 10.

Now multiply that number by 9. If the sum is a 2-digit number, add them together (i.e. 18 would be 1+8, or 9).

From that new number subtract 5.

Now think of the letter of the alphabet that corresponds with your number (i.e. 1=A, 2=B, etc.)

Think of a country that starts with that letter.

Now, think of the next letter in the alphabet.

Think of an animal that starts with that letter. NOTE: you must know the color of the animal you are thinking of.

Got it?



Why are you thinking of a grey elephant in Denmark?

It's to the left of the triangle, but I don't know what it is because it is missing. :shock:
