Always thought people look better in sort of.... cheapo clothes. *shrug*

I don't know quite what you mean. But the banging riff that goes on behind it is in 4/4 which may be why.

Kieran Child

Hey hey hey wooah. What are all these accusations flying about? Speaking about flying, there are 10 birds in a tree and I shoot one, how many are left in the tree? :lol: None, because all the others flew away at the sound of the shot? Full marks for working. Half marks for conclusion. My answer is ...

Monkey Dust was win. Have 3 points.

DEFINITE IN.

Part of me didn't wanna post this cos it might rub it into him, but the other part of me thought, the fact that I'm posting this shows that I think he's amazing. I beat Dinos Sfyris :D http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=118293 Not only that but we declared the same thing in 7 rounds so I'd like t...

I don't understand why the 'correct' version of gandiseeg is given as paganised?

Kieran Child

^ I thought this too. Dunno why I noticed it.

Kieran Child

^ Nice idea. That's why people like saying 'indigo'... supposedly.

Kieran Child

Decided games (ahead by 11 after 14 rounds, ahead by 21 after 13 rounds...) to be adjudicated should one person log out and not log back in within 24 hours.

Have you any evidence for free will?

Kieran Child

AeroGreen would be less likely to win that one.

Kieran Child

You click user control panel and then forum settings, Kirk.
But if you find yourself puking at how ugly it is whenever you log in, then you have AeroGreen.

Kieran Child

If you have the machine, though, you can get a target of 0. Cannot remember if I was allowed it just for pressing equals.

Didn't work on me. Pity.

How do I get smooth blue?? I hear it's awesome.

Really looking forward to tonight. I have actually never witnessed or been in a hypnosis and majorly want to see if it's possible. There's still not much evidence to show that subliminal advertising works so I still don't believe that subliminal coercion can be that powerful. Hoping to get proven wr...

You can't? But they're such wonderful Zs, made of the finest silk. Only the ignorant cannot see.

Digital Spy rhymes with "face full of pie"
Coincidence?

It doesn't make sense if I say "asifiesnesekamtnseodti"

My dad has a kipper tie.

Kieran Child

Hah, no worries Jon. If you enjoy performing it, then practice the line when you say the cups are labelled "1 to 5" and maybe later say put the object under "1 to 5" and on both times make the word 1 stand out as best you can while keeping it natural. Once you're confident in doi...

^ Ere, an heir e'er measured an are in the air in Ayr

Kieran Child

The disproportionate amount of people who choose 4 or 2 is all the trick requires. The fact that the performance wasn't entertaining has no bearing on the fact that the magician was certain that the item wouldn't be under 1 or 5. Banachek does have a reputation to live up to. He is quite possibly th...

Kieran Child

I don't know why you keep on saying that the video of the person didn't pick what I was demonstrating, because it is clear that I numbered them the opposite way around to the way he numbered them, and so the person picked four. Well if "four" isn't the cup next to "five", then w...

On the simple shapes one, there is a minority picking of hearts, rectangles, diamonds and pentagons. On the car parts one, there is a minority picking of washer fluid, brake fluid and coolant.

^Heh. I can honestly say I do not know what is going wrong for you. It has never failed for me, nor the guy at the discworld convention (he is willing to do it in front of an audience too) nor Banachek, the inventor.

Michael Wallace wrote:Right, so maybe it's a bit disingenuous to try and use a claim like that to make a point in an argument?

Firstly, it wasn't being used in a point. It was an aside.
Secondly, my argument is that psychology is used in mentalism, and so it's a very fitting source to show that.

Kieran Child

To Jon, yes you're right about the red hammer thing getting hits. Some more that quite possibly won't get so many hits: "Think of a simple shape. A square is quite commonly used so don't bother with that, but think of a simple shape, with a different simple shape inside it" - Nice one this...

Kieran Child

There are never any studies that find these things, because magic builds up its knowledge base from outside the world of science. Thus the only things that can be used are magician's experiences. Of course, this is not scientifically sound, and so the cycle repeats, where the knowledge can only be u...

Devil's Picturebook

Kieran Child

When picking a number from 1 to 10, most people's initial thought is '7', which makes these results curious.

Kieran Child

I don't consider it especially odd that nobody's discussed it anywhere. There are tonnes of these things. "Think of a tool. And think of a colour that the tool is" Will almost always be a red hammer. He did lead her. He said "anything from one to five". This instantly rules out 1...

You won't find literature describing it because it is magic. You will not find literature describing Lennart Green's snap deal (shown above) unless you buy it.
Terasabos is described in the book "Psychological Subtleties 2"

Kieran Child

If she put it under anything other than 2 or 4 then you have got incredible unlucky on your first go :lol: I was hoping for more videos of it on youtube so that you can see that it's always 4, but sadly the...erm....discworld dude... is the only one available. Oh and TERASABOS doesn't mean bridging ...

In coding, the / thingy always means an end of something. So put normal what you want at the start, and then the same with the / at the end.

Terribly sorry Michael. Though my post did come with a semi-warning of being rubbish XD
The final pattern I end up with is the following:

good point. I wonder why I, and others, falsely add that U in.

Kieran Child

By creating pointless things to do (read out the box beforehand) and having doubt over unrelated items (whether the boxes were part of the table) you are weaving a mystery. Transparency in magic is just based on style. It doesn't make something better or worse. Of course it does. You don't create m...

Kieran Child

No you were fine, I just didn't read all of your post. Sorry. Changed accordingly.

Kieran Child

Edit: don't read below. It's rubbish, still working on it though. Edit: you can read below now, but I'm still not sure of myself. First step: Place a blue anywhere, and reds around it. Now put a blue on one of those reds, and turn the old blue red, and turn red all the new adjacent blocks. By doing ...

Kieran Child

The stuff about the boxes looking stuck to the table and her needing to anounce the box beforehand makes it less transparent how exactly? There was nothing in any of the boxes. Had the boxes been glued to the table, and there been a secret chute in the bottom of each of them with a man sitting under...

Kieran Child

It really wouldn't be. Given that the audience often expects the magician to be right, which has more oomf: Being told what will happen, then watching for 5 minutes as exactly what you expected to happen happens or Watching something happen for 5 minutes, then finding out that this was predicted bef...

Kieran Child

The bit where you touch 5 isn't a way of 'forcing' number 4, but a way of 'eliminating' number 5. That guy's method seems to be a tad muddled up, but the key components are there. I'm not sure what he was doing with the first cup. Given that it was the one cup she might have put her watch under othe...

Kieran Child

I never said 4 had anything to do with it. I just numbered them to make the follow up easier to understand.

Kieran Child

I've found a video of someone performing it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHqmg1OO0x0
In my set up, the performer was standing by 5 and the victim was standing by 1. In this instance, they're the other way around, so she ends up picking a 2, but what I was labelling a 4.

Kieran Child

^ I don't do anything like that. I just do tricks for fun with people every now and again, and TERASABOS is a good one when there aren't any props around (most people have cups). Yeah, people reading this would then be more likely to pick 1 or 5 to be contrary, but if someone is trying to be contrar...

Kieran Child

I wasn't aware that she was a '3,1,2' lady. I actually thought that 3,1,4 would be more likely, because that's the pattern that people sitting on chairs fall into. You are correct when you say that everyone would have done it (approximately). I don't know whether or not the fear of mice was necessar...
