The Setup: Your Equipment

  • To play Black Magic, you'll need a room with a mysterious black item lurking within its confines. Gather your friends, siblings, or fellow secret agents, and get ready to put your mind-reading prowess to the test.

 

 

The Players: Detecting the Spies

  • By forming two teams, we will designate one player as Spy 1 and the other as Spy 2. These "spies" will showcase their ability to read each other's minds through the game of Black Magic. But don't worry; everyone will have a chance to be a spy and unlock their hidden powers!

 

 

The Game Begins: Unleash the Magic!

  • Spy 1 leaves the room and takes a designated player, often a child, as a watchkeeper to ensure complete fairness and avoid any cheating. While Spy 1 is away, Spy 2 seizes the opportunity to excite everyone's curiosity.
  • Spy 2 asks the remaining players to pick any object in the room and announce the colour of their chosen item. For instance, someone might point to a blue chair. The object should be agreed upon unanimously.
  • Spy 1 Returns: Testing the Mind-Reading Skills
  • Now, the moment everyone has been waiting for. Spy 1 is called back into the room, and Spy 2 commences a series of mind-bending questions. Each time, Spy 1 focuses intently, utilizing their extraordinary mind-reading powers to answer each question with a resounding "no."

 

 

The Trick: Unveiling Black Magic

  • As the questions progress, reaching a crescendo of anticipation, Spy 2 finally poses the question, "Is it the black bottle?" Spy 1, maintaining the charade, replies with another "no." But here's where the magic unfolds!
  • With the next question, Spy 2 asks the players' chosen object, for example, "Is it the blue chair?" This time, Spy 1 astounds everyone by responding positively with a resounding "yes!" The assembled players are left in awe as they witness the power of the mind in action.

 

 

The Game Continues: Unlocking the Secret

  • As the game continues, more objects are suggested, and Spy 1, with newfound knowledge, guides his mind-reading responses accordingly. The objective is for the players to decipher the method behind this mind-bending trick. Those who manage to unravel the mystery will have the chance to become the next generation of spies, showcasing their extraordinary mind-reading abilities!
