David Copperfield... I don't know how this works!

Post by eefanincan »

I'm sure there's some obvious trick to this, I just haven't figured it out. Anyway, it's kind of neat.

Do *any* of the cards in the 1st row appear in the 2nd row? It's a clever slight-of-hand with the intention that you'll only notice the face value and colour, but not the suit.

Shouldn't that be "slight of screen"?

At first I thought it was cool, but then seeing what you had to say Garry I felt like a dick. That should have been obvious :oops:

Same here! I knew there had to be something obvious, but I bought right into it!

Yes, "slight-of-screen" (but it doesn't quite have the same ring to it).

Don't be too hard on yourselves. It's easy to miss it, especially since the text tells you to focus on one card. Of course, that way you don't pay attention to the others and (hopefully) won't notice that they're not below either. :D

Sadly, this is about the most complicated "magic" trick I can figure out.
