A magic moment · 12

The Telepathy Test

Choose a symbol. See whether the envelope agrees.

How to play

  1. Five symbols are on the table.
  2. Choose one in your mind, then tap it.
  3. The envelope was sealed before you arrived. Open it.
How does it work?

On a screen, the envelope is a line of code that writes itself after you choose. In the theatre, the same effect is done with a real envelope, a real audience and a great deal of care. That difference is the whole art.
