The Magic Circle

THE

MAGIC CIRCLE

TYPE:  E.S.P.

The leader announces that he will leave the room and when he returns he will be able to name the player who shook his assistant's hand. Before he leaves he walks in a circle and says “The magic circle is now formed.  Do you feel its influence?” After several members have replied “yes” he leaves the room.  When he returns he names the player.

Solution:  The leader is able to identify the player because the assistant picks the first person who answered his question about the magic circle.
