For those that didn't figure it out and for those who missed the solution: All the cards on the second page are different from the ones on the first page, therefore no matter which card you choose, it will be removed from the second page set (which has one less). Notice the cards are all number cards with many spots. The 7 second wait is to allow your mind to forget all the cards on the first page besides the one you picked. Pretty neat mind trick! It does take the fun out of it when you find out how simply it is done. I guess that's what I admire about magicians and card sharks. There usually is so simple an explanation that we overlook the obvious. > ---------- > From: Marion Knapp[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 3:12 PM > Subject: card trick > > How did they do that card trick?
