I know a magician who is very skilled with playing-card tricks. I have seen him do things with cards, up close and personal, that appear to be logically and physically impossible. Having no way of knowing what makes his tricks work, I figured that he must have spent a lot of time practicing to get his craft perfected, in fact he confirmed this is what he has done. But I thought that it must be all based on a special talent he has to make it possible for him to simulate miracles, basically.
If it were some kind of spiritual force at work, and if my acquaintance is able to somehow invoke the assistance of demons, it would make sense if he could get help with a problem or puzzle with which he is not familiar, relying on the demon's help to solve the puzzle. After all, if regular people can solve a puzzle quickly, certainly a demon could as well.
On this basis, I offered him a cast metal puzzle, called "Coaster" made by a Japanese company, Hanayama. (Look it up.) I had expected that he would be able to work it, which means take it apart and put it back together. He got it apart okay, which anyone can do quite easily, but he gave up trying to put it back together.
His apparent inability to reassemble the 3 rings was a surprise to me, for I had expected him to do it, perhaps with some effort for a few minutes. But he resigned without comment instead.
