Black Magic

The guesser and the giver work together in this game. To play "Black Magic" you have one person, the "guesser", close their eyes or face away from the group. Then, another person, the "giver", silently points an object out to everyone else in the room. This object is now an "it" that the guesser has to guess.

Have the guesser turn around. The giver points to many objects in the room asking if the object is "it." The secret is, none of the objects are "it" until after the giver points to something black (a person's shirt, watch, phone, anything black). The object immediately after is the "it" in question.

For example...

Giver: "Is it this Cheerios box?"
Guesser: "no"
Giver: "Is it my (black) boots?"
Guesser: "no"
Giver: "Is it this soda can?"
Guesser: "yes"

This should drive everyone in the room crazy trying to crack the code!

that game is so tricky and so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so harddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

cool!:D

Ha! I watched people play this at a camp and I was SO close with my guess on how to do it! Awesome game, and good directions as well. :P

when i played this game the teacher picked only one and told him how the game works. then we kept on playing i thought the one who got him told him what we are looking for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you give the secret away? The whole point of the game is for people to figure it out themselves. Once you know the secret you never divulge it. EVER!

People want to know how to play. You aren't the only person on this Earth !!

I use to play this at panda camp and I never knew how to play

what

thats what i thought but all the other comments seem to understand, i just thought i was thick lol

can some one please send me a picture of this game the box.

It is the most awesome game! I've played it at camp tons of times-- it's always funny to see how newcomers try and figure out the trick! It seems so complicated, but really it's simple!
