I have a friend who I talk to on MSN. This summer, he did this:
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
want to try out something?
Drew says:
Depends on what it is.
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
hehe
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
An effect
Drew says:
Sure.
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
I want you to imagine a deck of cards
Drew says:
ok
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
any color deck you like
Drew says:
ok
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
now keep imagining that red deck...
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
now I want you to eliminate cards
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
eliminate a suit
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
great now eliminate some cards
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
like court cards, or low cards whatever
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
now eliminate a color, like either red or black
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
now I want you to concentrate on one of those cards
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
tell me when you have one in mind
Drew says:
Got one.
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
think about it
Drew says:
k
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
think really hard this is not a joke
Drew says:
I am.
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
great
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
lol you thought I could do this
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
hehe
Drew says:
lol
«... I don't want to think next to that guy! ...» says:
was your card the 8 of clubs?
Drew says:
Holy sh*t.
He has also done this with several other people, and he did it to me again later that day. No, I wasn't in on it. Apparently it's really simple, and an old concept, but it took me back a long ways, and I was, and still am... completely amazed at it.
