The deck was fanned out and shown to me (and everyone else) face up... as in all the cards were visible so everyone could see it was a full deck. Then he turned the deck back over and fanned them out, the cards never leaving anyone's sight. As I already said, he turned away while I picked the card. Since he was turned away he could "subliminally suggest" a certain card all he wanted, but I made sure I chose one that wasn't in the forefront, I had to dig a little for it.
You guys kill me.
I'm telling you, the guy was fucking good. There was no "obvious" way of telling what he was doing. You just had to be there I guess, I've tried to describe it as best I could to you all.
Those who think they're so smart and think they can see right through everything, tell me how THIS one was done then.....
On TV earlier today I watched a magician do another "lame" card trick.... On a crowded bus he gets up, starts his shpiel to the 40-odd people riding along. He gets a random girl, one he has never met before, to pull a random card out of the deck (a fresh deck that he let her shuffle as much as she liked) then he asked her to take a pen and sign her name on that card.
She then slipped the card back into the deck, and was again allowed to shuffled the deck.
He then took the entire deck and THREW all the cards at the inside of the front window of the bus, after which all the cards flew, bounced off the glass etc, but one card remained... stuck on the glass at the end.... HER SIGNED CARD.
Here's the real kicker: He asked the bus driver to stop, whereupon he got out, asked the girl to get off the bus with him, showed her the card.... IT WAS STUCK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW... not the inside.
Now, I would LOVE for some of you self-proclaimed brainiacs to have seen that first-hand, then sit there and try to explain how he did it.
