The last 2 months I have been preparing to do a Magic show at a Golf club in Japan. Why? Currently, Japan is experiencing a "Magic Boom". Magic is on the TV and has regain popularity again . Having done magic during my younger days, I was ask if I would perform at a golf club in my town. Knowing how much work, practice and time it takes to get a show together I reluctantly said "Yes". Finally months of honing my magic and Japanese skills I was ready to go! Most of the audience were older people in their sixties. I chose I man to help me with a card trick, that I had spent months mastering. Without going into details, this is how it went. "Please choose a card and remember it. Then show it to the audience" I requested. He selects a card and returns it to the deck. I shuffle the cards. "Is this top card your card?" "YES" he replied. "Really?" I asked. "not sure" he replied. "Is the BOTTOM card your Card?" I asked."YES" he replied. "Really?" I asked. "not sure" he replied again. " Do you remember your card?" I asked. "not sure" he replied once again. "lets do it again" Please take a card and REMEMBER it, and show it to the audience" He selects a card and returns it to the deck. I shuffle the cards again. In case of spectators with bad memory I had brought along a white board. "Please WRITE you card on this white board" I requested. " Spade? Club? I forget" he replied. Lucky, someone with long term memory reminded him of the card and the rest of the trick was a success. Anyway the rest of the show went well and I think the audience had a good time. But will they remember it?
