Party Tricks: How to Perform the Magic Gopher

Brent Dunn
I'd like to introduce everyone to a magic trick called The Magic Gopher. The Magic Gopher is a magic trick that will leave all of your friends in amazement, if performed correctly. For the magic gopher magic trick you will need cards or symbols. If you plan to use the cards for this magic trick you are going to need three decks. If you've decided to use symbols you will need several index cards to mark the symbols on. Also for this card trick cards will have some role and resources of a computer and printer for Gopher Magic cards, or you can call yourself. If you are using the symbols of The Magic Gopher trick then you must have one or two different symbols in mind.

After you then draw these symbols on their index cards. After you want to figure out a number between zero and ninety nine and but this number next to the symbols of their choice. To accompany their one or two characters that is going to need one or two letters. Of course, if you wanted to skip the entire manual work can be done this easily on a computer and print everything that is needed for this magic trick.

I am sure you want to know the secret behind the magic Gopher is? Well it is actually very easy you just to keep in mind that no matter what the combination of two digits of your friend decides to choose to be a multiple of nine or an equivalent to zero. The key here is that these numbers coincide with a symbol that no matter what the symbol is. Just make sure to randomize the symbols on your chart to make it look like it is needed.

Now for the actual "magic" in the trick, you will need a volunteer, whether a family member, friend or a guest. After you have found a suitable volunteer, ask your volunteers to select a two-digit number, or any number between ten and ninety-nine. After take the two numbers and add the two digits together. For example, if you chose thirteen, which increases by one and three is equal to a sum of four. The volunteer now must have addition and subtraction of the original two-digit number you selected that thirteen least four, which just so happens like nine.

Then, you show them your chart you have made for the trick. And tell them to memorize the symbol next to that number, which in this case is the number nine. We shall now proceed to read his mind and volunteers show you what is on the symbol in waiting. This is a very entertaining trick I do it with my friend and family all the time and always get a surprised reaction.
