ok, (this is my first post)i am positive that phsicic(psi stuff cant spell it )exists because i tried a exersize from psipog and showed it to my dad! he had no clue how i did it(card exersize 1) I ever bet him 10$ he couldnt figure it out.Hes gona be paying me!!!you should check it out at psipog it so fun and cool!

welcome yobe to UM and hope to se more posts from u
i actually haven't tried that card trick but maybe i'll do "someday"

its pretty cool and my dad had no idea what i was doing.lol it fun and esay to pratice

can u tell me the trick...

you tell your sub conciece(if it dosent trust you)the next card you pick up will be like, the ace of spades. take the first 6 cards and make sure the ace isnt in there. put the cards somewhere else. shuffle the cards. take six cards make sure the ace isnt there. repeat un till last card. last one should be the ace.

or go here and go to articles kinesis and look

interesting.. *goes to check out linky*

Ah, I remember trying this. For ages.

I think I actually got to the end of the deck about 4 or 5 times but that was mixed in with about 50 billion tries. .

It was fun to think it was magic but really I think it's just chance.

But don't let that stop you from trying. In fact, right now, I'm thinking of starting up again...

sounds really cool...I wonder if I can do it....

crap- I need a deck with all the cards? ..gotta go buy one.

lol Devil but i know wot you mean i have a deck that has 5 aces, 5 kings, 3 Queens etc

Potholer , let us know how it goes

Heh, well I did give it a go again. I wrote down what my results were and they are as follows -

1. 5 cards left to turn over
2. 26 left
3. 43 left
4. 26 left
5. 5 left
6. 36 left
7. 22 left, though on the last lot of 7 I turned over, I was feeling unconfident about whether the card was near the bottom or not.
8. 45 left but again, I was feeling unconfident about the choice I made of when to stop shuffling and start turning.
9. 43 left
10. 32 left
11. 36 left
12. 50 left
13. 35 left

Then I changed the way I was thinking from trying to feel whether the card was near the bottom to trying to push it here AND feel whether I was succeeding.

14. My card was the 10th I turned over
15. Mine was the 3rd
16. Mine was the 13th
17. Mine was the 5th
18. Mine was the 16th

Make of it what you will. Maybe I'll try again later.

What kinds of results have others been getting?



Potholer

This sounds not only like fun, but like good practice... i'll have to try it.

I don't understand it much....I think that having someone hold a card only facing themselves and you sit across the table guessing correctly what it is.

How do you know, with this kind of card trick, that you have used your mind's psychic ability?

Hey Hailo

That is a good question and the answer that I, personally, am going to give is that you don't. Unless, of course, you are consistently getting to the bottom 10 cards or so, then there might be something going on.

My results didn't sound all that conclusive but you might get better ones. There's no harm in trying right? The thing I like about this exercise is that I can do it whenever (in my room before I go to sleep, watching tv, sitting bored in class...).

I'm really quite curious to hear how others go.



Potholer

okay, I gotta try this card trick then...to see how the conclusion goes

Thanks Potholer

Great hailo!

Let us know how it turns out



Potholer

all i can say is HUH!!! lol, wow it sounds like it would work, but like i dont completly understand it... so if its in the 7 or 8 or whatever cards u turn over u screwed up?

I wouldn't say "screwed up" but yeah, I guess so.

All you do is shuffle the deck, stop when you feel comfortable then deal out 5-10 cards. Check that lot to make sure your card isn't in there then shuffle the deck, stop when you feel comfortable, deal out another 5-10 cards, check they're not in there, shuffle the deck....

If you turn up your card before the end of the deck, start again. Do it a few times and record how many cards you got through or how many you had left in the deck before you turned over your card.
