Here’s a site to try.  It is amazing.  I’d like to hear anyone’s thoughts as to how it works—and it does work!

Answer: Really, Lois? ALL (!) the cards have been removed, not just the one you called. Lol!

It’s a fun trick, I was taken in for a few minutes.

Might be worth removing the answer George, or putting it in white.

Okay, done. But I really don’t think it’s that hard to figure out.  smirk

I double checked the list and figured it out. Not too difficult if you are a suspicious person.

Part of the trick, was in saying that the success rate is only 98% rather than 100%, and, of course the eye choice which was unnecessary except as a distraction.
