Taichi’s Life

Happy new year. Since it is the New Year, I tried creating my original Omikuji. Let's take a photo at your own timing and check your fortune.

I have seen many magic tricks on TV, and I am very impressed by the dexterity of the magicians. So, I devised a simple magic trick that even a clumsy person like me can do, and I thought I would share it with you. I also thought that this theme of "Writing a Procedure" and the event "Revealing the Magic Tricks" went very well together. By the way, this is the first time in my life to perform a magic trick in public. What to prepare: ・Two envelopes ・Coin [A] ・Coin [B] ・One table Procedures: 1. Put two envelopes and one coin on the table. 2. Make sure that both envelopes are empty.   (In fact, there is already coin [A] in the back of one of the two envelopes.)   3. Put the coin in one of the envelopes then return it to its original position. (At this time, put coin [B] in the back of the envelope which is empty.)   4.
