With all due respect, your mentalist trick on today's GWAE episode has too many options. The D country I chose was Domincan Republic. There's also Djibouti, Dominica, and Democratic Repub of the Congo, besides Denmark. And even if I had chosen Denmark, several K animals besides Kangaroo and Koala. For example, Kiwi and Koi (plenty of others, though not common, can be found by an internet search.)

FYI, here's the web site of a mentalist I've seen on a few TV shows and he's truly amazing: https://www.danielharel.co.il/en/

I didn't catch the episode, but have heard this trick many times. When I heard it, it was always the letter E leading to elephants, but D was still for the country.

I think the trick is to tell it to an audience, where even if you have the occasional rabble rouser who pulls out "pink emus in Dominica," the majority of the audience is gonna go the intended direction.

Point well taken. It works only about half the time, but when it does work, it is usually to great effect. I really hadn't planned to do that, but the conversation just lead there and I didn't have that much more to talk about.

Do the chances of success improve if you force a G (-1), then work off the second consonant?



I didn't recognize any obvious NLP suggestions in the patter.
May the cards fall in your favor.
