2. Ask the spectator to mentally select a color and not tell you which one he selected.
3. Ask the spectator to silently spell the name of the color, one letter at a time, as you touch different cards. When your friend reaches the last letter, ask him to say "stop."

blue (four letters)
green (five letters)
