How to Pretend to Read Minds Using the 'Orange Kangaroo' Word Trick

Choose your target.

Ask him or her to think of a number between 2 and 8. Make sure your target doesn't say it aloud.

Multiply this number by 9.

Add the two digits together. So, 18 would give 1 + 8 = 9.

Subtract 5 from your answer.

Associate your number with a letter from the alphabet. For example, A = 1,B = 2, and so on.

Think of a 7-letter country beginning with that letter.

Think of an 8 letter animal where the first letter of the animals name is the last letter of the country's name. For example, England ends with "d", so you can associate that with "dog".

Think of a 6 letter color where the first letter of the color's name is the last letter of the animals name.

Ask your target, "Is it an orange Kangaroo in Denmark?" He or she should say yes....
