I'm going to read your mind...via internet

Postby Beardy » Aug 3rd, '07, 21:38



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.....

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

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...

:P

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!

:D

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!
