To begin the day, students were greeted by Leo the Lavish and his lowly assistant, Chris. For his first trick, Leo predicted the card that each student would choose, despite the deck being shuffled and students choosing cards at random. His prediction was sealed in the envelope shown above by a student, as Chris, the lowly assistant, doesn't care for the taste of mailing adhesive. A special marking was made on the envelope so that we could be sure it belonged to Leo the Lavish.
A student retrieved the envelope after our All-School Meeting. Another read the names and corresponding cards one-by-one, pausing to check for accuracy. Leo guessed them all, but the students were dubious of Leo the Lavish and sensed something amiss.
Several possible explanations were offered. Assumptions were challenged and we ended the day, certain that Leo the Lavish certainly had help.
Tomorrow we continue the exploration with the anatomy of the trick.
Great start for the year!! I heard all about Leo the Lavish in the ride home.
