lockmat Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Rule #1, do NOT scroll down until I tell you to. Pick any card in a deck. Got it? Scroll down to see if I guess it right. 3 of spades. Yes? No? Again, pick a card, any card. Got it? Scroll down again. 8 of hearts. Yes? No? Ok, so it's likely I guessed both of yours wrong. But the strangest thing happened to me tonight. My wife and I were watching David Blaine on ABC tonight, unrecorded, without a DVR. In one portion of the show Jaden Smith was asked to pick a card and before he did, I said 3 of spades out loud. A few seconds later, we found out Jaden chose the same card. Later in the show I chose the 8 of hearts out loud before Katy Perry did. Same thing happened. Now was that just random or what? First, the chances of that happening once is super low. The chances of it happening twice in two tries is even lower. The chance of it happening twice in two tries in the same order is crazy low. Are the 3 of spades and the 8 of hearts simply the two most likely guesses? My wife is my witness and was even threatening not to sleep in the same bed with me tonight. I've met a few of you and I hope I didn't come off as a psycho or a liar. This was just weird. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hmm... I didn't know. Showmenship is showmenship. Until someone pulls a diamond out of their a** I'll always be a skeptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Until someone pulls a diamond out of their a** I'll always be a skeptic. They'd have to insert a lump of coal first in order to be able to retrieve a diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I suspect the goal here is to come up with a plausible excuse that will make your wife feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed. There was subliminal messaging in the program that you picked up on that gave away the cards that were picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thankfully she's okay, but she doesn't like me to reminds her about it either. If I would have tried and guessed a third time and been correct she was gonna pull a Harrison Ford and tell me to get out of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
