Reminds me of this ancient web magic trick. http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/page67.index.html http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport

  The real trick there is an Angelfire site still up and running

  Only a person who doesn't know how the Web works will fall for that.

    The "z-chip" thing is obvious crap but I read it as adding a (not necessarily believable) story to make the trick more interesting and misdirect you away from the truth. Not a scam someone would "fall for"

      These comments tend to be very amusing. So a scam is the only thing a person can "fall for". You can't fall for an interesting trick, eh?
      • kgermino 12y ago
        No, you absolutely can, and I have. However many times a trick like this will have a completely unbelievable story. The point isn't to get you to believe the story, it's to distract/amuse you. Think of it like a ghost story. In general you know it's not true but it gets your mind going.

    You don't need to know anything about how the web works. The second set of cards they show you doesn't have ANY of the original cards, so there's a 100% chance that the card you chose will have been "removed". If you're only concentrating on the card you chose, you won't notice that all of the other cards have changed, since they look similar (8 of clubs turned into the 8 of spades).

      See, I was assuming he meant that only people who don't know how to use the 'back' button to compare the two sets of cards would be fooled.

  I forget who, but that magic trick was actually a shareware program years before the web, published by someone who is relatively famous since.
