Abra-Kid-Abra © 2016 Magic 2 Nines Trick Effect: To a cute story, magician shows a card with the word “nine” written, but with the “i” not dotted. She places the card face down on the table, & writes a dot on another piece of paper. She rubs the dot and it disappears. When she turns over the “nine” card, the “i” is now dotted! Props: Nine card, a pen or pencil, and a piece of paper. Secret: The word “nine” reads the same upside down or right side up, as it is written in cursive. When “nine” is right side up, the “i” is dotted. But when it is upside down, it isn’t—the dot is below the word and covered up by the thumb, which holds the card. As for the dot disappearing, you pretend to draw a dot on the paper but really don’t. Preparation: Have each student put a light pencil dot on the back of the card near the top edge of the card where the dot is.
