Color Sense-action
About the Routine
The spectator shuffles the cube, and keeps the cube in their hands. You try to sense the colors from a distance, without ever looking at the shuffled cube…. “Is there a GREEN in the center somewhere?” – you ask, and the spectator looks for the green side of the cube… you then name every color on that side.
Method #1
At the beginning of the routine you can ask the spectator what is their favourite color of the six colors on the cube. As you give the cube to them to mix, you secretly turn the side that has the chosen color in the center. So if they choose GREEN, you turn the GREEN side as you ask them to mix the cube (of course you can make more turns before handing them the cube). You will turn around or use a blindfold for the rest of the routine.
When they are ready mixing the cube, ask them to look for their favorite color in any of the center pieces, and hold that side facing them. Now you are sensing all colors from that side, naming them one by one successfully.
Method #2
You don’t have to ask for their favourite color at all…. you can select a color yourself (eg. YELLOW), and turn that side when you are handing them the cube. Then ask them to mix the cube while you turn around. When they are ready mixing, you will try to sense the colors from one side…
“Is there a YELLOW somewhere in the center?” – you ask them, and of course they will find the yellow center. Now you announce all colors from that side one by one… You can repeat the routine using a different color each time. But you can also repeat the routine using the last method:
Method #3
When the spectator is ready mixing the cube (and the countdown has ended), the app will display the side that they turned first when mixing… but you don’t start sensing the colors just yet! You can switch to another side just by asking the spectator to turn ANY side (maybe their favourite color) once more. When they turn any side, the app will display colors from that side. They can repeat turning any side as many times as they want, the app will always display the side that has been turned last.
Of course you can combine all three methods in a longer routine (I suggest repeating only once with a different method).
