I was thinking of a blue spade as well. :ohmy:

Edit: First one got me. :unsure:

I thought of potato..... :blink:

The first one got me but I think mainly cos I remember doing it before and was trying to remember the answer, still freaky.
The 2nd is just crap, I thought of a yellow chisel :blink:

Ok try this, bare in mind all the times I've done this it has maybe only twice worked on females for some reason, usually males go for it tho

You must read carefully but think quickly and be honest.

Think of a number between 1 and 50, must be double figures, both different and both odd.

37

Jonno :cool:

I did think of a carrot for the first one. The next one I thought of a red shovel and for Jonno's test I thought of 39 but for some reason it did take me quite a while to get to a number between 1 and fifty with both numbers being different and odd :blink:

Glad I don't work with figures.

lol, that trick works best if someone understands you so you don't have to repeat instructions (or in this case read twice) , try it, will freak some people out completely, especially pissed people :lol:

Jonno :cool:

The only choice you have is one of these numbers:

11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 31, 35, 37, 39

1st one I've heard and still thought of carrot. second one I thought of red hammer and third I thought of 35.

oh and u can't choose 11 b/c they have to be different.

lol, yeah 11 are the same 2 numbers ;)
And it does'nt matter that there's only 8 numbers to choose, the point is if you have several people all say the same then you produce a piece of paper with 37 written on it, they freak out.

Jonno :cool:

Carrot

Red Screw Driver

33

nice try :P

37

Jonno :cool:

i got 35 =l and why doesnt 39 work =s its double figs odd number and 2 dif numbers

heres an amazing mind trick http://www.grand-illusions.com/dragon.htm

download the video :fear:

:ohmy: :helpsmili :ohmy:

parsnip

blue hammer

13

One out of four is not bad (and parsnips are just carrots that have had the blood drained out of them.

13 as it was the first available option (? why would people scroll all the way through their brains to 37 ? weird)

You'd be suprised, that actually works 85% of the time, altho like I said, very rarely on women for some reason.
Although a big part of stuff like this is how it's presented, that works better irl cos you can rush an answer creating confusion and for some reason it leads to 37.

Misdirection and mind control at it's simplist form :)

Ah! that would explain it - having spent all day wrestling with computer generated forecast of outturn figures I no longer have a mind to control. :frusty:

Damned computer has fried my brain more than I thought. :frusty: :frusty:

Amended as requested and a bit more detail added to boot.

Is it as clear a a very clean man made from glass holding a glass sign which on it is written in clear ink the words "Is this clear" and singing into a crystal clear mic "Clear days are clearing up the clear praise" while standing on a glass table?

Jonno :cool:

thats pretty damn clear

unless the room was full of mist

Jonno :cool:

Well I am glad that has been cleared up. :blink:

Crystal mate :01:
