Choose a volunteer; Tell her you are going to send a simple word from your mind to hers. Tell her to clear her mind so you can send the word to her mind. Now write the word NO in big letters on a pad, but don't let anyone see it. Now both of you concentrate so you can send the word to her. After you sent "the thought" to her ask " Do you have any idea what I have just written?" of course she will say "NO" as soon as she says that turn the pad over act surprised and say "You did it that's exactly what I wrote!"
The Date
Here's a chance to act very mysterious, and end up being very silly at the same time. Offer your friend a hand full of pennies and tell him to choose one. Have him look at the date and remember it. “Would you be amazed if I could tell you the date?” Think for a while, concentrate, and make him wonder if you can really do it. Finally, in your most convincing, magical voice announce: "The date is ...and then state today’s date, all I promised to do was tell you the date and you have to be honest and admit I did it didn't I!
Color Thoughts
You will need 3 to 4 different colored crayons.
Let someone pick a crayon. With your mind-reading powers, you tell them the color they chose.
Secret Steps
Turn around so you can’t see the color they choose. Put your hands behind your back and ask them to pick a crayon out and place it into your hands.
2. Once it’s in your hand, turn to face your audience keeping your hands behind you. While you’re talking about the magic, and reading their mind, scrape the crayon with a thumbnail so some wax gets stuck between your finger and the nail.
3. keeping the crayon behind your back, bring the hand with the crayon scrapings in front. Wave your fingers around, while telling them to just think of the color they picked so you can get that thought…you will now tell them the color they picked
Or…Turn back around have the person take the crayon back from you and then turn to face the audience again. You can then take all the crayons back and then present their crayon to them.
