"One night at the castle's W.C. Fields Bar I watched as a magician named Jon Armstrong performed a card trick for a dozen guests. Armstrong, who is 30 with blond hair and boyish looks, fanned open a deck face forward at his audience. He asked someone to choose a card with his eyes and remember it. Armstrong proceeded to shuffle the deck, pull out a card, dampen it with his tongue, and slap it onto his forehead, where it stuck. He informed a second person that she had the ability to guess what card the other person had chosen. Four guesses were made: seven of hearts, jack of spades, four of clubs, two of diamonds. All were wrong, according to the man who had made the first choice. "Can you now tell us what that card is?" Armstrong asked. "It's the five of diamonds," replied the man. Armstrong peeled the card off his forehead and laid it down. The five of diamonds. "But I don't want you to feel like you didn't know what you were doing," Armstrong told the woman. He pulled out his wallet from a vest pocket, flipped it open, and removed four cards that he laid on the table with a staccato flourish. Seven of hearts. Jack of spades. Four of clubs. Two of diamonds. The audience fell apart." -Dave Gardetta, LA Magazine
