Yes, I have now worked out which cards are which. The printing on the back was a bit dodgy and as such was not as it should have been. But using a bit of logic and thinking I've worked out what is what! :wink:

Many thanks for your help, its been excellent!

I got these cards recently (thanks, Mr. Bravo!) and like them quite a bit - I can remember the pegs far more easily than any of the stuff I'm supposed to be revising at the moment!

As with any trick though, it is almost *all* in the presentation - if you were to whip out 4 cards, ask them to choose a memory etc. and tell them bluntly which one they're thinking of, it is easily reduced to a simple mathmatical process which I reckon would quickly be picked up on (to be honest, that was my first reaction to the method). But with decent patter and a bit of drama and embellishment, they really have the potential do amaze.

...and i finally caved.

ah well - any chance on it arriving tomorrow? no? thought not ;)

ah well - be a nice present for when the exams are over - 2 weeks time. Will also be good as I won't have to focus on remembering both the kioku "script" and my exam revision ;)

Love

I still haven't had a chance to try this out in the field yet, as I've been trapped at the base of a secluded embankment under an overturned car for the past four weeks, or something. However, while lying with my mouth open to collect rainwater, I have given it some thought.


For someone that's been trapped at the base of an embankment under an overturned car for the past four weeks I have to say Sexton, you still look
fabulous!!

W00t - got them today. I was sort of expecting the method to be like that but they are really well done and much better quality than I was expecting. Well done Outlaw!
