As old as the mathematics that make it work.

How does that work?!

growse · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:55

Notice how every multiple of 9 up to (and including) 81 is the same shape.

Cueball · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:58

Ah, no I didn't. I was too busy going "oooo, aaaaah!" at the apparant magic and screaming at everyone in the office to "look at this!!!!111oneoneone"

I feel cheated now. Like a kid when he discovers father xmas doesn't exist.

the shape changes on the ball each time though, so while it might always be looking for the same multiple there is still some mystery as to which symbol I may be expecting. Then again I always get fooled by these kind of mind reading things, the worst being this :

I must have sat in front of that for at least half an hour untill my friend walked in and told me what a tard I was being

I love how these reposts always turn into a slanging match between those who can see plainly how it works, and the inevitable halfwit who claims that it sometimes gets it wrong

yeah but the shape next to multiples of nine changes everytime as well though so it matches the shape that will appear in the ball

Yep pick the same number everytime and watch the symbol change.

The last time this was posted there were people saying it didn't work for them

Mind you somebody showed me this at work about a month ago and I pretended I didn't know what it was and pretended to be amazed. On purpose I kept getting the maths wrong so it wouldn't be right. I then explained it.

It took me two seconds and I'm quite thick.

I'll give you a clue - write all six cards down and then look at the remainder.

I spent about half an hour trying to explain the card trick to one of my mates ages ago, I should have just given up lol
