An eerie, mysterious, and magical effect!

Show a transparent bar with five colored, wooden cylinders along the top. Each has a piece of rope attached (all being a different length), and hanging from each rope is a bell. Thus, there are five cylinders, five ropes of different lengths, to which are attached five mysterious bells.

The magician asks a spectator to think about a color of one of the five cylinders. Mysteriously, the rope with the connected bell will begin to rock while the others will remain still.

Each colored cylinder can be lifted to show that nothing is attached. This effect can demonstrate your psychic strength.

Everything can be examined. The transparent bar has a length of 50 cm and the shiny brass bells produce a decisive sound.
