Max-Try Some Tricks

This is a super mystery – if you only perform it once. Show a box of crayons. Hand the box to a spectator. Turn your back and have the spectator select one crayon and place t in your hands behind your back. You turn to face the spectator and say you can “feel” the color. You keep the crayon behind your back in one hand, and bring the other hand in front of you to gesture at the spectator. You immediately name the color of the chosen crayon. The secret is simple: while both hands are behind your back you mark a finger nail with the crayon so when you bring your hand in front of you to point at the spectator you can see the crayon color on your fingernail!
