Card Trick!!!

Too easy, I'll build one and put it up right now.

Hey, Monger, can you explain that to me??????? That's freaky.

All the cards are removed.

Craven you traitor!


... Okay okay, here's some info about this... Urban Legends Reference Pages: Humor (Card Sense)

I suppose this indicates that I am certainly not a candidate for 'Witness of the Year'.

Thanks, Monger. Even after Craven told me they all were removed, I had no idea what he was talking about. Sometimes I can be really 'DUH!'.

HeeHee! ...Did you read the thing about the guy's mom & her husband on the explanation page I linked to? !!
And hey, most people don't figure this one out on the first try.

Of course not. I only read as much as I needed to in order to understand the trick. Had I been the type to actually read the whole thing (which I will now go back and do), I might have been more likely to be aware and alert enough to have noticed the trick in the first place.

I just put this up, it's a bit trickier:

Cool stuff, Craven!! It took me about 5 dumbfounded tries to figure this one out.

[size=8]By the way, how come you put it on Lycos?[/size]

And I tried once and figured I'd never figure it out.

I put it there because I'll load a bunch of junk there that I don't want to count against my bandwidth like this golf game I just put up:

Wonderful -- just what I need: more games to keep me from doing that which is supposed to be done.

Well, i don't get it, but that's o.k., magic is fun only if you don't know . . .

Yes! Taking your eye off the ball !

Theres a related con trick used by money changers in Turkey and probably elsewhere too. Whatever the going the dollar rate, these guys offer X% more for credit card transaction.
They ask you how much you want to change and you say $100. They work out the appropriate turkish lire at their "special rate" and get you to sign the credit transaction for those lire plus a "small charge" for a verification phone call. Of course, when you get home two weeks later you have been charged the $110 for the "real rate" and the guy makes his money on the phone calls!

I got a 54, because of my ten on the last hole. That took the whole fun out of it, and ruined what otherwise would have been enjoyable! ;( c.i.

Hi Craven -- Thanks for the golf game! That was fun! I was doing OK until I came to the one with the two hills.... LOL.... back and forth, back and forth. Also, I should have read the directions first! I didn't realize in the beginning that you could gain velocity by moving back away from the ball.

Good game.... a great way to end a busy day at the office!!

Here are the tips for the golf game:

Craven,

liked the mindreading thing there. Just clicked the first time, but then figured it out after a closer second look. It's a nice one though! The game was fun too... Managed to get me a 35 my second game LOL!

is that why i'm double over my limit on my credit card Craven? i'll just have them send the bill to you from now on lol.
