Baby Bingo offers a fresh twist on traditional bingo. Instead of calling out letters and numbers, a participant simply thinks of a number between one and thirty. If they spot their number on a card, they place it face-down. Any cards without their number are set aside. Meanwhile, the performer looks away to maintain the illusion.
The participant is led to a prediction that matches the number of bingo cards featuring their chosen number. Remarkably, the performer can discern that they are thinking of a two-digit number and whether it is odd or even, without asking any questions.
Next, a numbered word list is presented to the volunteer. They locate their number and memorize the corresponding word. Attention is then redirected to the face-down bingo cards, where one picture is revealed that relates to the word they are thinking of, culminating in the performer revealing their exact word.
