How would someone program something like this to pick the card you want? Can anyone explain it to me pls?

nvm i thought it was some cool programming trick but its not... lol. It got me :(.

I think it is pretty cool.. but I am having hard time thinking of any way of making it??? :( any ideas?

It removes all of the cards. So there is no way of it being wrong. Just write down the six cards on a paper, then when he "removes" your card, you see the resulting five are totally different.

If you'll look at the cards you're dealt when you start the experiment and the cards that are left after you select a card, you'll find that none of the cards in the second set match the cards in the first set. So the card that you selected obviously won't be there, ESP or not. :)

I once wrote such program vb.. it was fun :D

actually there was.

this one online cards are static..

the ones I showed were dynamic.

also it had many effects..

i would've upload it .. but couldnt find it :rolleyes:

LoL,

Cute trick. My wife is still scratching her head trying to figure this out :)

BTW, I tried it before I read the rest of the comments here.

Lesson to be learned here: Whenever something at first glance seems impossibly impossible, you are probably being deceived in some way.

If you operate from that premise you would see through that in a heartbeat.

LOL @ ESP

For a real good time, read some of the "explanations" offered by people, along with their crazy-*** half baked theories:

"The monitor is tracking my eye movement"

HAHAHA.

Meanwhile, this prankster is probably selling books like hotcakes to these mentally incompetent people who can only conclude its either a mythical brainreading or some kind of highly evolved mathematical algorithm.

Wow, are those "explanations" from real people? I sort of took the whole thing as a joke...

What a laugh :)

No there are right. it matters not which card youpick, because the second line-up is completely different, with one card less! You automatically expect to see your card missing, but you don't even think to look at the other remainding cards, which makes this trick clever, if a little childish!

:banana:Most "good" tricks are 8-)

that's a very good point!
