    ahhhh!

    i did it at least ten times determined to mess it up, but it worked EVERY time

    i had a friend that showed me a trick like that once, but i don't really remember it and i didn't get it then

    It didn't work for me. But I didn't say my card out loud -- there's no microphone in my computer system/so that wd be dumb.

    I had chosen the Jack of Hearts. And it was still there when I got to the last screen.

    So y'all are SUUUCCCKKKERRSSS!

    Sorry to be a nerd...

    On the first screen write down the cards that are there.

    On the second screen notice that ALL the cards have changed not just yours.

    that's pretty funny.

    so much for my powers of observation.

    That freaked me out the first time I tried it too, but I figured it out when two people did it at the same time, choosing different cards.

    Not that hard once you do it a few times. Best thing to do is to pick 2 cards. Then it's really freaky but obvious when you see they're both not there.
