The street magician shuffles your card and the other three back into the deck. He looks up at you and grins a sneaky grin.

“Pay close attention. Otherwise, you’ll miss something.”

He pulls a card from the deck. Nope, it is not your card.

He draws another. Nah, still wrong card.

Quickly, the street magician reaches by your ear and BOOM! The card you selected appears between his fringers.


”Is THIS you card?” he asks, leaning in.

You nod.

“That will be $25.”

How do you respond?
