The Magician-Spectator Affinity Test

You're in a white room with one window. The window is open and you can feel a nice breeze coming at you.

In front of you there is a desk. On the desk there are:

Have a good mental picture of this.

The first thing you do is remove some cards. Which ones do you choose to remove, the picture cards or the number cards?

You remove them from the box and order them in front of you. There are Jacks, Queens and Kings. And they can either be red or black.

You decide to burn them, but there is not enough alcohol for all of them.

Which ones do you want to drench in alcohol, the red ones or the black ones? The ones you will choose will be destroyed and reduced to ashes.

Ok, the Number cards are removed.

You still have some cards left and you decide to burn them. The problem is that there is not enough alcohol for all of them. So between the Jacks, Queens and Kings, do you prefer to drench in alcohol the red ones or the black ones? The ones you choose will be destroyed and reduced to ashes.

Good, you drench those in alcohol and then start burning all the figures. The red ones burn quickly and are completely destroyed, reduced to ashes, The black ones though take some time.

Soon the wind coming from the window takes away and saves some of them. Which ones does it take away: the male cards or the female cards?

You take the alcohol and pour it over the black figure cards. Then you put them on fire. They burn very quickly, but the wind that’s coming from the window takes away and saves some of them. Which ones does it take away: the male cards or the female cards?

Ok, the female cards are now taken away and saved.

You will now have to take the most important decison. You will have to destroy one of the saved cards and keep the other one.

So between the Queen of Clubs and the Queen of Spades.

Which one do you want to destroy completely and which one do you want to keep? Take three slow breaths before you make your final decision. The card you will choose will be your Affinity Card.

As you wanted, the male cards are taken away.

After a while the flame stops.

The cards are almost ashes but still recognizable. You take one in your right hand and the other in the left. So the Queen of clubs in your left hand and the Queen of Spades in your right.

You decide to keep one as a memento and to destroy the other one. Which one do you want to keep? Take three slow breaths before you make your final decision. The card you choose will be your Affinity Card
