Effect: You ask someone to select an item while you’re out of the room, tell everyone else which item was selected and leave it in place. When you return, another person goes from object to object touching them in a random order. When the person touches the chosen object, you’re able to tell everyone that this is the selected object.

Preparation: A friend who is in on the secret and can help you. This is the person that touches each object when you come back in the room.

Secret: The person touches an object of a predetermined color that you’ve agreed on, usually black. And the next object that the person touches will be the selected object.
