Pick a card, any card.
Magicians often use playing cards in their acts and it usually requires an audience member. The audience member will choose a card from a fanned out deck. He or she will look at the card and place it back in the deck. With a slight wave of the magicians hand, he will reveal the card the audience member chose. Leaving the entire audience wondering, how did he do that?
For this challenge I want you to choose a suit (spades, hearts, diamonds or clubs) and display them on your layout. I want to be able to see which suit you chose by looking at your layout, so use several. I also want you to include some thread, string, ribbon or twine.....as well as a touch of gold.
Here is my layout. Can you tell which suit I chose without asking?
