    LOL a simple mind trick which make use of the human instinct to trust patterns more then concentration

    Ah but it is

    ok whoever hasn't done it yet don't read down!

























    First selection
    King - Hearts
    Jack - Clubs
    King - Spades
    Queen - Dimiond
    Queen - Club
    Jack - Dimond

    Second
    Queen - Hearts
    King - Club
    Jack - Heart
    Queen - Spades
    King - Dimoinds

    Now none of the first cards are there, we think the only one gone is the one we saw, because we don't take the time to remember the other cards and the memory can only cope with 4 bits of info in a very short space of time. Now the colours seem to match up so we trust it

    Ahhhhhh yeah that's what I was on about I thought you meant that it was people who say... Oh I'll pick the one in the middle (thinking that it's a randomg card)then when that goes they go to the opposite and say I'll pick the one at the end of the row. Some sites work on that theory but this one is exceedingly clever and yeah it's simple psychology because it asks you to pick ONE card and concentrate on only that one and then when you see the other screen you only search for your card :D

    VERY clever indeed :D
