## Summary

This video demonstrates a simple magic trick using business cards and colored stickers, where a spectator freely eliminates cards until one remains, and it always matches the magician's prediction. The tutorial explains the secret: five of the six color cards have the same color on the back, ensuring the final choice is forced.

### Key Points

- **Trick Presentation** [00:00] — The magician shows six business cards with six different colors, mixes them, and places one card as a prediction. The spectator eliminates cards one by one until only one remains, which matches the prediction.
- **Materials Needed** [01:07] — You need six different colored stickers, seven business cards (six for colors, one for the prediction), and optionally an envelope.
- **The Secret** [01:37] — The secret is that five of the six color cards have the same color on the back. The prediction card is the one with the matching color on top.
- **Displaying the Cards** [02:17] — Spread the cards casually showing the six different colors, but avoid exposing the backs. Turn them face down so only the backs are visible.
- **Elimination Process** [02:50] — Have the spectator eliminate cards one at a time. Since all backs are the same, the final card will always be the forced color.
- **Reveal** [03:16] — Keep the last card face down, then turn it over and reveal the prediction, which matches the chosen card.

for your prediction. You can use an envelope or not use an envelope that's your choice. So what you would do is you would place a different colored sticker on each of the business cards. Once you have that the secret is that you have on
the opposite side of five cards the same color Alright so you need six different different colors for the top and then six for the bottom One two three four five and of course that one goes on top right there
