I was watchin David Blaine and

that rerun last night freaks me out a tad.

I picked a card on the opening video and then he flipped the 4 of spades and that was the card I chose on TV.

Anyone else picked another card that watched the rerun of David Blaine's show and got the same results?

I did have a choice between 6 of diamonds but I went with 4 of spades.

I know it is staged as the others would always say, but it was entertaining just the same.

i didnt watch the david blaine thing you were talking about, but if its one of those, pick one of the cards, and then he narrows down to one, arent those kinds of tricks usually just mathematical algorithms? david copperfield used to always have somthing like that on his TV specials.

statistically? impossible. 1 in 38 times 5?????

is that one of the segments? did he pick diff each roll? was there a lot of "cuts" or was it one static shot for the entire 5 rolls?

or the guy is lucky...; but i doubt it.

he had the b-day girl and her friend pick 5 colors and rolled the original $100 dollar bet. They ended up winning $3800 bucks I think. Then he said happy b-day, that's for you.

It's called video editing and playing events backwards to make it look like it happened. All those events that he does on TV such as the roulette, levitation, etc are all planned. Hired actors are used to make it look real. He tells famous people that his stunts are fake and for them to play along so that it will look as real as possible.


Notice he doesn't do the roulette in front of a live audience?

Wait, is it the one where he flips the deck of card in the camera and you (the audience) picks one? .. i think he does it quick but slows it at one card.. so the card that you see the longest is most fresh on your memory so you choose it.
