Here is a mental type trick for you:
It can be done in person or even over the phone.
Ask someone to think of a number from 1 through 10.
Tell them to multiply it by 9.
If their number is more than one digit, tell them to add those digits together until they have only one digit.
Finally have them subtract 5 from the answer. This is their lucky number.
Now have them convert the number to a letter in the alphabet.
For instance if the number is 1 think of A.
If it is 2 think of B and so on.
Now ask them to think of country in Europe that starts with the letter they are thinking about.
Tell them to get a mental image of the second letter in that country’s name.
Tell them, Now quick think of a large animal that starts with that letter and think of the color of that animal.
Ask them if they have all that and say
Sorry there no grey elephants in Denmark J
