1. Ask your friend to secretly pick a number between 2 and 9.
2. Then ask them to multiply that number by 9.
3. Next, ask them to add the two digits of the result, and then subtract 5.
4. Tell your friend to think of the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to that number (1 is A, 2 is B, etc.).
5. Tell the person to think of a country that starts with that letter.
6. Now tell them to pick the next letter of the alphabet, and an animal that starts with that letter.
7. Now tell them you know what they are thinking, and that it is "Elephants in Denmark"… Most people will come up with that answer. If they somehow come up with something else, tell them you clearly heard them thinking of Elephants in Denmark!
Try it......... it works with 9 people out of 10...
