Learn an analogue method for knowing exactly which number on a dice gets randomly selected by a spectator. You'll kick yourself when you discover the secret.

You’re at a party because you’re cool and go to parties.

It’s late in the evening, and you’re in the backyard.

It’s time for a magic trick.

You hand a friend a red solo cup.

You hand them a simple red die with white spots.

You explain that ‘die’ is the singular version of ‘dice.’

There are no weights or magnets in the die.

They roll it a few times on a nearby table to prove so.

The die gets placed inside the cup.

They shake the cup with the die inside.

Using their phone light, they peek inside.

The friend remembers the random number.

Then they shake up the cup and hand it back to you.

You look deep into their eyes.

Suddenly your expression changes.

“You’re thinking of the number five,” you say.

“OMG, HOW DID YOU KNOW?!” they say in shock.

It’s a miracle.
