Each card shows a different number of basketballs. You fairly display each one, front and back, and ask them to guess the total number of basketballs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen you ask, “But did you miss the gorilla?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThey look confused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYou turn the cards over and reveal a huge gorilla spread across all three cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHow did they miss that?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCue absolute chaos. Laughter, disbelief, and people trying to figure out what just happened. The reaction doesn’t stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs soon as the gorilla appears, you can show the cards front and back again. You can even hand some out, but nobody wants to. Their brains are too busy trying to process what just happened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe cards were designed by Phill Smith, known for his incredible work in card marking and design, with a clever built-in method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis packet trick is perfect as an opener or a closer. It has a strong hook, it’s fun, interactive, resets in seconds, takes up almost no pocket space, and is incredibly easy to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYou missed the gorilla.
