[size=0]Look at the cards it displays at the end, none of them are the ones displayed at the beginning, they are different suits, but still picture cards, so it doesn't matter which card you pick, it won't be there at the end[/size]

Highlight me ;)

It took me like 3 seconds to figure this out. :p That comments page is great though.

WOW I have tried your ESP experiment a few times and got FREAKED OUT by it...Then, after reading all the efforts to explain it, I am left believing that magic must really exist! I am a lowly artist who flunked out of math and got a B- in physics....so although I don't know how it works, I am supremely alive to it's transformational jolt capacity. Thanks!!! You are AMAZING!

Your experiment has made my stomach feel funny in that exciting way. Why our stomachs do this is a mystery beyond the casual psycho somatic explanations. In fact having the consciousness that recognizes any present moment is truly to be alive. That whatever you have done to create this experience, brings forth ones consciousness to be present, is a gift. Thank you Antony Thier

I figured that out after picking one of the ones at the end only to not find it at the start. :p

It's friggin' obvious and works just like every other 'ESP' site. I can't believe anyone's dumb enough to get taken in by it.

More evidence to support the (admittedly false) theory that the average person only uses 10% of their brain...

I realized how it works after about 2 minutes.  I felt rather stupid for not seeing it earlier.

Well, it really wasn't an intelligence test.
Actually, I'm afraid your brain isn't working like it is supposed to if you didn't fall for it, for once at least :P

I figured it out first time through to be honest, just seemed the obvious first thing to check.

But the explanations and reactions on the site are still funny. :)

Got it right away when I noticed that none of the cards matched for me.

Same.
Too many tricks played on me. They are all the same. Illusion. :)

To be honest I got it immediately just because I was looking for it, and I've read a few magic books in my time. It's just misdirection, because the site asked you to concentrate on the one card, and stare at that one card, I thought "What if I didn't, what if I memorised them all before I click on one of the eyeballs" It became obvious after that!!

@WMCoolman - did you read the reaction that said "Tried it three times, didn't work twice, better luck next time!!"  :wakka:

The point is it always works!, your card is always removed!! :lol:
