12 "...Just an Old Premonition": Magician asks spectator to think of a card, with minimal "fishing" (just finding out whether the card was odd or even and red or black) magician hands spectator piece of paper with black and white photocopy of fifty-one cards, spectator's card is not among them.
13 Fish Schtick: Magician shows backs of business cards have labels with pictures of fish on some and bowls on others, taking two cards and inserting them face to face in a slot cut into a wooden dowel magician twirls the rod showing how retention of vision seems to show fish in bowl, magician stops twirling and now one card has no sticker and the other has a sticker with the fish in the bowl.
