Well I had just copied and pasted a link to that very same video and went into File Sharing to post it as and saw this thread. I think it is pretty clever! Wasn't expecting it anyway.

That was neat... if it could be done as deceptively for a large audience, however, it would be a stunner. Too bad audience members don't watch through a TV screen.

Yeh. I seen this a few days ago. It's great illusions like this.

If you like this type of stuff, look up Marco Tempest on youtube, he has plentyful things like this.

Its a good illusion/trick, but it so obvious how its done kinda spoils the effect.

The point of the video isn't about the method, it is showing you how your eyes and brain make assumptions. The method is extremely obvious, but did you see the end coming?

I was to busy thinking 'maybey I should pick the ace because he thinks I won't go for the ace because it will stand out' then when he put it at the front I was thinking 'no cant go for that one, he'l probably expect me to go for the king, yep I should go for the 10. No wait maybey thats what he expects me to think!'

Me being a magician I tried to think outside the box and didn't notice what he was doing! I think someone related to magic said ' think inside the box, because too many people are trying to think outside of it!'
