and no this is not a mathemagical "think if a number between one and ten...times it by nine" effect

Right then...

OK guys, just a bit of a psychological experiment here...

I want you to follow this as it goes along, or you will just ruin it for yourself...either way it dont affect me, it's you who this is for.

Right.

Go to your wallet/purse/piggy bank, and take out a 10p piece...






Now look at the date on the said 10p piece, and I am going to try and attempt to get the date of it...




Now, I obviouusly have a choice between 1970 and 2007...so a guess is going to be unlikely to work...




Look at your coin...focus on it...





Do it you plonker...I know you ain't...you shall only spoil the surprise for yourself! as i said...i already think I am amazing...








Rightyho...look at the date of your 10p piece...




sorted...




the date.....




on your coin.....




is.....











*EDITED due to reasons I cannot be bothered to explain - Chris*









Hows that for magic

2006
Unlucky boyo

Errm...2002

Sorry bud

EDIT: Of my pocket change, I also had a 2001, and a 1996, if that helps

gah...the first two not to work...iv had a 100% success rate up to now...haha

I actually use this as a magic effect with presentation *EDITED due to reasons I cannot be bothered to explain - Chris*

8 times out of 10 it works...

Now i just need a solid 8 more people astounded to prove my stats correct

and in my spare change I have *EDITED due to reasons I cannot be bothered to explain - Chris*, and no others...

and it has worked with others as well

haha...thought it would be fun

OK here is a very effective mindreading experiment.

Think of any card in a deck of cards.


























Remember it.


































































Think of the card.















































































Clear your mind of anything else.





































































Bring the card to the front of your mind, and concentrate.
















































































Close your eyes.
















































































Take deep breaths.












































































































AH! You know what I have just done?









































Wasted 1 minute of your time, and you're not getting it back!




And THAT'S Magic!

Am I the first person it worked for, then?
I was impressed, anyway, even if everyone else wasn't :p

Well mine was 1992 mate so 1 out of 3 aint bad

and it is starting to unfold

the point of this thread as well, is maybe to give some ideas as to how you could utilise this fact...I mean, yeah it aint foolproof, but some pretty snazzy effects could come out of this idea

Chris,

Nice effect, though unfortunately Derren Brown beat you to it by about 10 years.

Two mindreading effects, not quite as magical.

1. Think of any card.

Was it playing card?

Thank you very much.


2. Think of any number.

Was it a positive integer?

Thank you very much. Please, hold your applause, you're far too kind.

bleh...well I didn't know that...



EDIT - everything has been edited accordingly for exposure reasons...completely accidental I can assure you

apparently this features in both pure effect and naked mentalism...owning neither, I didn't know that...now everybody who has read these posts before having been edited - you are morally bound to go buy those books!

it worked on me, and thanks Michael for wasting one minute of my time.!!

Guys.. i told you to stop sniffing those sharpies

Mine was 2004. Not sure what date you had as it's been edited. Was this a hit or miss?

And the difference between this and your other pointless, time wasting posts is?


Edit,
sorry Beard, just realised you wont want to give the details out on the board. DOH!

Just a blast from the past!
