Hint for figuring it out: Pick two cards instead of one.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : see ABE:

And if your slight of hand was good enough, you could probably get away with this one on a street corner and make some decent cash If you told the people that you would take away the card that they choose, then you wouldn't be lying either, although pretty damn dishonest.

I use "dishonest" as the broader category and reserve "lying" for intentional falsehoods. I consider lying a form of dishonesty and "allowing someone to believe something" as another form of dishonesty but not actually lying. I think its dishonest because you're tricking people (and tricking them out of money would just make it worse). I guess if you worded it (what you're telling them you're going to do) right, then there would be no dishonesty. The absolute would be that all forms of unecessary dishonesty are morally wrong.The relativity comes into play in deciding if and when it is necessary to be dishonest, and which things are, in fact, dishonest. Only by the stench
