just a little trick [popcorn]
+1 on it being a trick
Who gets tricked by this and then actually believes it works.  It will work every time because they never show you any of the same cards.  I wanted to test if its true so i wrote down all the cards it showed.  SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! None of them where there.  I had suspected that to be the case as there are similar "prediction" flashes out there are always 100% right in guessing that your card is not there because none of the cards are there.

This stuff makes me angry when I try to think up of any logical reason as to the purpose and motive behind making a stupid flash like this.  Does some douche bag marketing firm peddle crap like this, put some arbitrary number to calculate the % of prediction accuracy (which the number itself it totally bogus) so that people assume that there is some sort of scientific formula/solution as to how to predict accuracy, then WOW you by not showing your card;  All in an effort to con you into using their services (which is not really real) and extract your hard earned money while you are the ASS end of their stupid con?

If you cheat, cheat death. If you steal, steal a woman's heart. If you fight, fight for your brother. And if you drink, may you drink with me!

Ships are made for sinking, and whiskey's made for drinking, if we were made of cellophane we'd all get stinking drunk much faster!

It took me a few tries to figure out the trick, and then I felt dumb for starting to get frustrated with its "luck."  [roll]

that was...  uh... dumb... trying to throw you off with a bunch of symbols.  Even a monkey can figure this one out!

Yep.  I posted it right after the first time I tried it (last night after beers).  [drink]  I did it again today and noticed the trick right away.

That trick is old man... Tossing bogus citations at the end of it doesn't make it legit.

Of course your card gets thrown out because they all get replaced.
