Are you ready?
I want you to mentally select any one of these six numbers at random.

1 2 3 4 5 6

Have you've got it? Good, then memorize it, don't just look at the number. I
want you to stare at it, become one with it, whisper its name (but not too
loud, we don't want people to think you're nuts or something). Now remember
the name of your number and don't forget it.

This is my pet fish, Sparky. He may look like a goldfish but he's actually a
shark...a card shark that is! Sparky used to work at the blackjack tables in
Vegas, don't mess with him because he's always packing heat. When you're
positive that you know your card click on Sparky and he'll shuffle the cards
for you.
Whoops! Sparky thought you were trying to cheat so he pulled a gun on you
and accidentally blew up one of the six cards. Do you still remember your
card? Click on Sparky's pistol when you're ready to continue.

Only five numbers remain. Do you know your card? Where is it? Sparky must
have just happened to blow up your number. What an odd coincidence.
