    Card Trick

    See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbEei0I3kMQ

    Bit of fun but I think it's better when Richard Wiseman does it

    I don't get it! The cards shown at the end are all different to the ones shown earlier! How is that a trick?

    That's exactly the point. Have you read Richard Wiseman's "Quirkology" - it works better there I think.

    Now, if the man had turned over 'my' card and it was correct - that's what I call a trick!

    Pah! That'd just be a force. If he said look behind you and your card was stuck on the outside of the window then THAT would be a trick.
