A Magic Trick by Webguild

Alexa will start by having you pick a number from 1 to 100. Don't tell her your number, though!

Alexa will then walk you through some arithmetic on that number and at the end Alexa will speak the number you wind up with.

Black Magic Game by Solid Interactive

Choose a "Magician". Have this person ask someone who doesn't know the game to pick an object in the room.

Start the game by asking Alexa to, "play Black Magic Game".

Pick out objects in the room and ask Alexa if they are the object that was chosen. (e.g. Is it the television?, Is it the couch?)

To complete the trick, the magician will ask about an object that starts with the letter 'B' (e.g. How about the book?) -- the next item they ask should be the one that was chosen in the beginning.
