Performance
1: Set the stage: Begin by introducing five envelopes and a single coin. Emphasizing the importance of this particular coin, referring to it as your “lucky coin” that aids in decision-making.
2: Audience participation: Call a spectator who has 4 coins in their wallet. Emphasizing that these coins can be of any denomination or type.
3: Coin placement: Ask the participant to place all five coins into the 5 envelopes, shuffling them to ensure complete randomness.
4: Reveal: As you move your hand over the envelopes, concentrate on sensing the magnetic field of your special coin. Gradually reveal the envelope containing your coin and confidently identify its position and whether it’s heads or tails, despite not opening the envelope.
