Question

Can you explain this a little more?

Community Answer

Most of the time this game is played casually with a few friends. List multiple objects around you, and ask them to guess which one you are thinking of. One of these objects, however, must be black, and you cannot list it last. The one you are "thinking of" is the object you listed directly after the black one. Your friends have to figure out the pattern.

Question

What does the second method mean?

Community Answer

Instead of naming a black object followed by the correct object, you just say the correct object on the 7th object you call out.

Question

What if the audience chooses a black object?

Community Answer

Make the black object the second item that you mention. For example, if they choose a pair of black shorts, just mention a black stapler first.

Question

What happens If I accidentally let people other than the assistant know the trick?

Community Answer

Well, it depends on how many people you tell. If you only tell one person, then it should be fine, as long as they don't tell anyone else. However, you should try your hardest to keep it a secret.
