So I went out for a drink last night and fooled someone that was there really badly with some mind magic I’ve been working on recently..

Getting her to only imagine a deck of cards, and slowly throwing them away in her head to leave only a single card, I asked her to think hard about the last remaining card and visualise it brightly in her minds eye. I then told her exactly the name of the card that she was left with..

On her excitement of ‘wanting to see another’ I asked her to tell me three things, I wanted her to make sure two of them were true, and the other was a lie, but not to give me any clues.

She said that her brother had met Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, her friend had been to Dennis Watermans house, and that she had met the pope..

It was actually difficult since one of those was in fact an ‘almost’ lie.. I managed to tell her that I felt the third statement was a lie, since she had not actually met the pope, she’d only been close to him, when she’d visited the vatican.. of course I was right..

Theres still alot more work to do on it, but the material I’m researching and reading at the moment is pretty good stuff, Kenton Knepper’s Wonder Words, Ian Rowlandds and Banachek..

Its great when you fool someone..
