The performer displays five acrylic cards that are red on one side, yellow on the other. Each side is printed with a different number from 1 to 10. (See image of the yellow side of the cards and image of the red side of the cards).
Next, the performer asks a spectator to place all five cards in the stand in any order, with any color facing forward. While the spectator is placing the cards, the performer looks away.
When the spectator has finished placing all five cards in the stand, the number on the cards are no longer visible. But when the performer turns around, they instantly call out the total of the numbers on the cards facing the audience!
With the aid of a calculator, the spectator then verifies that the performer's total is correct!
