Secret of the Sphinx

Electronic Talking Magic Works by Milton Bradley

The magician introduces the sphinx to the spectator explaining that it has taught you all it's secret powers. To prove it, you fan out the deck of pharaoh cards. The spectator draws a card, secretly looks at it, then returns it to the deck.

You slide the deck of cards into the sphinx and remove them one by one. Before pulling out each card, you predict it is the wrong one, then press the jewel on the sphinx's forehead to hear it speak. For each card, the sphinx verifies your predction by saying no.

Suddenly, you tell your audience you have a strange feeling the next card you draw is the spectator's. You make your prediction, then press the jewel. The sphinx says, "Yes! This is the card!" You show the card to the spectator. It is the chosen card!
