Free magic trick - Colourful Crayon

This free magic trick gives you a great excuse to play with your children's crayons or to buy some in the toy shop!!!

The effect is as follows:-

You hand several different colored crayons to a spectator. After turning your back, you ask the spectator to place a single crayon into your hand, which is behind your back. Even though you can't see the crayon, you are able to tell the spectator its color.

You require several crayons of different colours to perform this free magic trick .

Secret of this FREE Magic Trick is very simple:

You secretly mark your finger with the crayon and sneak a peek at the color that's all there is to it.

Hand the different coloured crayons to the spectator.
Turn around and extend your hands behind your back and ask the spectator to give you a crayon.
Turn around to face the spectator.
With your hands behind your back, mark your thumbnail with the crayon. Say that you're trying to 'visualize' the color of the crayon.
Turn around and hand the crayon back to the spectator.
Pretend to concentrate and then bring your hand (with the crayon mark on the thumbnail) forward and rest your hand on your forehead (as if you're thinking). Make sure this gesture is natural.
Get a peek at your thumb to determine the color.
Put your hand down.
After thinking for awhile, reveal the crayon's color to the spectator.

This is a very simple but excellent trick.
