I saw this video in my recommended videos section on youtube.

I thought it was going to just be that old puzzle where you add up numbers and the answer is 4100 but everyone gets 5000 because it tricks your brain into adding 910 instead of 10 at the end.

But no, you simply answer some math questions as you go along and watch it read your thoughts at end =)

It also isn't really strictly magic, it's a socio-path test, but I think its pretty cool, and could probably be used as a cool self-working mental ism trick.

worked perfectly for me.

This is a very well known Psychological force. I'm pretty sure its described in Psychological Subtleties

So how exactly does it work?

its just if you dont give people time to think about their answers, the first color that pops in their mind is likely to be red, same with the tool hamer.

QUICK Think about the First vegetable that pops in your mind! Carrot yes?

Tomo - I think this is one for you...

There's a good example in Paranormalities, don't stop to think, just shout out the first thing which comes to mind:

What colour is a cloud?
What colour is snow?
What colour is whipped cream
What do cows drink?





And for all those who said milk, they don't - they drink water and give milk!

Calves do...

True but bthe question was what do cows drink

B*lls

I got:

Black
Yellow
Cream
Whatever's in the trough

Do I win a prize?

Ok maybe I paused a little at each one.

That's what happens when you give people too much time to think !

Having watched the video, I am curious to find out exactly what a "Phycopath" is?

Narrow road open only to pedestrians and cyclists.

Are calves not cows?

That's like saying a baby isn't a human

Cow = the animal itself, and Calvert = a young version of a cow.

Like a baby = a young version of a human

Do I win a prize?

Now I'm confused. I thought a Calvert was a channel carrying a stream under a road.
