    himself fucker.
    They removed all of the cards. Am I missing something?

    I'm sad that I spent so much time verifying the obvious...

    No, that's it. I guess it's obvious to everyone except the people posting on his website. It took me a couple go's though.

    Yeah, I'm lol-ing at this page of people talking about what they did: Explanation of ESP Experiment

    I'm inclined to trust that they're being honest because it's a .edu page.

    edit yeah, I'm thinking those testimonials are faked. The trick was pretty clear to some pretty out of it people.

    The page of people's explanations is way more entertaining than the test itself.

    'Quantum mechanics may permit synchronicity of thought and computer software.' OK.

    'I was somehow able to guess which card was going to disappear from my screen, but I couldn't correctly guess which ones would remain.' Getting close.

    'I am an Aquaculture student. You have caused me to become obsessed with Sea Spiders.' ??

    'Have you ever considered that we may not be meant to use all the power our brain has because it could lead to our destruction??' Speak for yourself please.

    'Your program removed several times the card I named, even though I spoke Finnish when naming the card.' Hmm

    etc etc

    Actually, I think I saw this years ago.

    Yup.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    I literally remember this in middle school.

    I'm a 5-year college graduate.

    The explanation page is pretty funny though.

    "I think your ESP experiment works because most people choose a card too quickly and don't give the computer sufficient time to randomly choose other cards."

    this is also what makes the click-it-back such a powerful play.

    I saw this once in a gypsy psychic piece of scam mail, always wondered where they'd got the idea from

    Some magician guy did a version of this on TV to the TV audience in the 90s, it's an old trick. I posted the link on a FB friend's wall who is all into ghost hunting and flying spaghetti monsters and crap like that. Will post a TR.

    It's not really hard to remember 6 cards. Can you remember your hole cards and what cards came out on the flop/turn if you think about it? If you're paying attention I bet you can.
