BINARY MAGIC

You can tell the age of anybody from 1 to 60 magically without asking!

For each card, just have the audience member say "yes" or "no" if their age appears on it:

1	11	21	31	41	51
3	13	23	33	43	53
5	15	25	35	45	55
7	17	27	37	47	57
9	19	29	39	49	59

2	11	22	31	42	51
3	14	23	34	43	54
6	15	26	35	46	55
7	18	27	38	47	58
10	19	30	39	50	59

4	13	22	31	44	53
5	14	23	36	45	54
6	15	28	37	46	55
7	20	29	38	47	60
12	21	30	39	52	**

8	13	26	31	44	57
9	14	27	40	45	58
10	15	28	41	46	59
11	24	29	42	47	60
12	25	30	43	56	**

16	21	26	31	52	57
17	22	27	48	53	58
18	23	28	49	54	59
19	24	29	50	55	60
20	25	30	51	56	**

32	37	42	47	52	57
33	38	43	48	53	58
34	39	44	49	54	59
35	40	45	50	55	60
36	41	46	51	56	**

You can then "magically" tell them their age.
