External influences, the Fly: a challenge, human relations.

"I mean, this is probably to be expected with us trying to get a prize off someone else…?"

"I'm trying to think of ways this could be vaguer and coming up blank."

Next card?

Internal influences, the Glow: good luck, preparation, a solid plan, hard work.

"… Meaning those things will probably help us succeed, I assume?"

"I'm not sure trying to interpret these vague things like that will actually be useful."

"I don't know that there's actually any way to interpret them usefully."

Next card?

Limitations, the Shadow, reversed: unknown unknowns, lack of knowledge.

And the final card?

The outcome is the Sword: compensation, power.

"… So this is vague details and really obvious details – it really doesn't feel like this is particularly helpful."

"It seems to be generally positive, though? No portents, the challenger thing is—more information than we had."

"Right, it's not actively detracting or anything, it's just – it seems like we did not get much from it." Shrug.

"Indeed no," he agrees. "But I guess that's a 'yes, let's record a video doing magic and send it to the Randi Foundation.'"

"Sounds it! Do you have anything in mind, or just… test out a bunch of cards?"

"I think we could just do some spells first, I'm not sure it's good for people to know we have the Cards in case that's relevant, no one's bothered us so far but..."

"Makes sense," he nods. "Intangibility, levitation, colour change…? I'm trying to think of something that'd be hard to fake but there's basically nothing."

"Well, via video, everything's fakeable. We could perhaps record ourselves doing magic in public?"

"And – hope people don't, like, panic?"

"Well they can feel free to panic but like, what are they gonna actually do?"

"… I mean, not much, because we have magic? But it seems kinda mean to cause panic for the sake of this."

"Why would they panic just because we can make pretty lights or fly?"

"– I dunno? It'd at least cause, uh, confusion and stuff?"

"Oh no. Confusion. The horror."
