I saw a similar situation. The group hid the check in some box seats. They were inside the theater, but you had to go out a door and come back in to the area. It greatly threw him off because although he was drawn to the area, he believed it couldn't be there because of the rules. Finally, he got a new "sender", trusted the signals, and found the check. He also chastised the group.

The one time I saw him, over 20 years ago, he failed to find the check which, as I recall, WAS in the theater proper. Being the showman that he was, he made the best of it by proclaiming that, as soon as he got backstage, he was going to alert the media! Presumably the charity that sponsored the performance got to keep the fee.

I agree, but it never ceases to amaze me how people can't follow the simplest of instructions or directions, regardless of age, social status, ethnicity, gender, etc. If anything, it seems to actually be getting worse.

WASTE OF TIME to do mentalism that involves the audience doing math. They will always mess it up!
And, if it goes right they mostly write it off as a math magic trick. My two cents DB

If Dunninger can return from the Netherworld and take Kreskin's place as today's premiere Mentalist I believe the Pseudo-skeptics would ask him to Die and do it a SECOND TIME before they would believe it ROTFLMAO

I've had people who miscalculated actually say "I did it wrong" in which case you must assure them that they DIDN"T!!!! I've since made a few changes I have an old Martin Gardner Chestnut that works almost all the time that I once called REDRUM with "Here Comes Johnny" and now I perform it as THE MIRROR OF ERISED for the Harry Potter crowd. I have several that are mathematical but require no mathematics on the part of the volunteer.

Slim,
You are right, it is OK if you do the math! That is why I said... Quote:
