You pass out 5 slips of paper and ask one spectator to write the name of a dead person and the others to write any names.Now the slips are mixed and you close your eyes and pick out the slip with the dead man!
Reading The Dead
All the slips of paper are different. The one with the dead man's name on it has 4 of its edges crooked/rough. The other 4 has only 1 rough edge and the other edges are smooth.
After the writing is over you just feel the 4 rough edges of the slip and pick it out!
