ummmm... Don't try using google to search for this system, particularly if there are other people around unless you do a really specific search! :shock:

Not all that mysterious, more a question of sorting out an annoying problem. Will say more as and when!

Hmmmmm. Durham University are well into this system:

Abstract: This document describes the LOLITA system and how it was extended to run the four MUC tasks, discusses the resulting system's performance on the required "walk-through" article, and then considers the performance of this system on the final evaluation set

er, perhaps that's not what we're discussing here!

OK, gottit:

Docc Hilford has devised a simple yet highly effective system that can be applied to any borrowed deck of cards in minutes, making the free selection of any card or pair of cards instantly known! Here are just a few of the effects possible:

Two cards and a word are chosen by three spectators. You hypnotize a woman who reveals the names of the cards and the chosen word!
You write three different predictions, each with a spectator's initials on them. The spectators freely select cards and your predictions match the selections!
A spectator secretly chooses two coins from his pocket. Another freely chooses two cards. The values of the coins and cards are added together. You know the total, the values of the coins, the names of both cards and even the date on one of the coins!
This system took years to develop along with the audience-tested routines. Now you can perform miracles without sleight-of-hand or memory techniques.

From Murphy's Magic website - just in case anyone was wondering what we were discussing - like I was!

Taken from CNN :
Today the EU released an urgent report regarding the almost instantanious tissue mountain that has developed in the UK.
European leaders are outraged at the sudden lack of low grade tree pulp to be found as the shortage continues.
One explanation is that the English are an emotional peoples and having just won the rugby world cup are as such, a nation in tears.
The other explanation is somewhat noted by its exclusion from the report, the only hint given was the ref. to a lemon and his surfing habbits.

Go figure
:oops:
