EDITED TO ADD: PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE READING THIS THREAD. This thread has spoilers.....



I meant this video as one of my entries into the Saturday Contest last week, but I just couldn't finish it in time.

I've finished it now, and I'm not sure it came out the way I wanted. So I'd like some feedback on it, if you would be so kind.

Here's the link to it.

Thanks for your time.

I liked it! I liked it a lot, it's hard to say anything so as not to ruin it for those that haven't watched it yet.

If I was to say one thing, I was captivated--would be the word I would use. Kept me interested the whole way through and I would probably have screamed bloody murder if, yeah... But I'm awkward so something else stood out. ;)

Okay, I'm going to make that one little adjustment so that I can get the outcome to go the way I want it to... :)

Hopefully this will fix it. I'll post when it's uploaded and running.

Thank you all for your help with this, so far.

Me too... I think there's something about the way a magician thinks that can also influence us. So you might be better testing laymen for the most part?

That's possible, Sean.

But I've just uploaded a new version with one minor difference and I'm curious if it does make a difference.

It worked for me, but I had the feeling that I saw only one card...

There was definitely more than one card. Let's just say you perceived one card. :)

I was also thinking the 7 of clubs. I showed it to a non-magician friend without saying anything and he said 7 of clubs. Whats going on with this? Did you change the card as an experiment?

I got 7 of hearts...???



....Hmmmm

Well, I'm getting closer.... :)


It's odd that the seven of clubs is coming out so much now. Originally, the seven of clubs was the first card you saw. Now, it's not.

Thank you all for your input. I'll continue to refine this, if you don't mind.

By the way, love the avatar, hijaackedmagic. :)
