Magic Tricks

I like the idea of the trick. I like the construction of the trick.

As a magician there are 2 steps to figuring out the number.

Step 1 was easy to master.

I have spend close to 90 min practicing step 2. And when I say practice I me just trying to get the number right, not doing the full patter. So I can do 4 or 5 numbers a minute.

I am still only about 60% accurate, which is little better than a guess. 4/3 works for me but getting the 1/2/5/6 feels like I am just guessing.

Method 1 (in hand) is not something I can get to work at all.

Method 2 (on a flat surface) only work for 1/6 on a hard flat surface. Will not work on a pad or even a table cloth.
