At a glance, it seems to be a valid magic card trick. But upon closer look, it's <strong><em>just</em></strong> another case of optical illusion (or might even be optical deceipt!).<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9LwIAFjHI/AAAAAAAAAN8/VAvcAC0pg48/s1600-h/DCo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282524178082532466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9LwIAFjHI/AAAAAAAAAN8/VAvcAC0pg48/s400/DCo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9Lv77NIKI/AAAAAAAAAN0/AaXXgeGwQjQ/s1600-h/Dco1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282524174840832162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9Lv77NIKI/AAAAAAAAAN0/AaXXgeGwQjQ/s400/Dco1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9LvsULdhI/AAAAAAAAANs/iyki7tFBdy0/s1600-h/Dco3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282524170650613266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9LvsULdhI/AAAAAAAAANs/iyki7tFBdy0/s400/Dco3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9LvSfslYI/AAAAAAAAANk/aD6unRro1CU/s1600-h/Dco4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282524163719599490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9LvSfslYI/AAAAAAAAANk/aD6unRro1CU/s400/Dco4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Now look again, take note that the cards presented are the <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">King of Hearts</span></strong>, the <strong><span style="color:#000099;">Jack of Flowers</span></strong>, the <strong><span style="color:#000099;">King of Spades</span></strong>, the <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Queen of Diamonds</span></strong>, the <span style="color:#000099;"><strong>Queen of Flowers</strong></span> and the <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Jack of Diamonds</span></strong>. You are being asked to mentally choose one card. This way your mind is conditioned to concentrate - <em><strong>to focus alone</strong></em> - on that <strong>one card</strong> you have mentally chosen - completely not minding about the other cards.<br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K2vXxzNI/AAAAAAAAANc/NWhXkAZY9O8/s1600-h/DCo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282523192218471634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K2vXxzNI/AAAAAAAAANc/NWhXkAZY9O8/s400/DCo.jpg" border="0" /></a>The next two slides are some kind of diversionary tactics to make you completely focus on your card alone and to give no attention to the other cards.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K2BlwPfI/AAAAAAAAANU/gYsqZrlmJek/s1600-h/Dco1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282523179929058802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K2BlwPfI/AAAAAAAAANU/gYsqZrlmJek/s400/Dco1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K194CP3I/AAAAAAAAANM/KnOupgvdgkI/s1600-h/Dco3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282523178931994482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K194CP3I/AAAAAAAAANM/KnOupgvdgkI/s400/Dco3.jpg" border="0" /></a> So that when the cards are shown again, your mind will <em><strong>look only</strong></em> for that one card it has chosen<strong>(!) </strong>and forgets altogether about the other cards ...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K1WTzJBI/AAAAAAAAANE/-4hej2SBcaI/s1600-h/Dco4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282523168311026706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zcsEh343oII/SU9K1WTzJBI/AAAAAAAAANE/-4hej2SBcaI/s400/Dco4.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>... so you fail to see that the original cards have all been changed by another set of cards. This time the cards shown are the following: the <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Queen of Hearts</span></strong>, the <span style="color:#000099;"><strong>King of Flowers</strong></span>, the <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Jack of Hearts</strong></span>, the <strong><span style="color:#000099;">Queen of Spades</span></strong> and the <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>King of Diamonds</strong></span>! Since it is a new set of cards, whatever you mentally choose won't show up anymore! That's why when two or more people select different cards at the same time all the choices they make vanish <strong>because the set of five cards are completely different</strong>!<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3392557668218821393-8704396178888379469?l=truthnconsequence.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>lance abethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07604578817240574013noreply@blogger.com2
