You can use colored ribbons, buttons or colored pencils or pens. Rather than answering 'yes' or 'no' or making a choice between two options, colour magic is more subtle and can suggest a strategy for success.
The Method
Take twelve ribbons, crystals, buttons or colored pencils and pack them in a box or bag. Without looking, take out a single colour. Replace it and take out a second. Put that back and take out a third. The first colour, the key issue, tells you the real area of concern, which may not be the surface one. The second colour talks about conflicting issues or opposition. The third colour suggests the best strategy for success or happiness.
