I didn't ask for geniuses to try their uber debunking skills here, I'm asking if you've seen any freaky unreal or otherwise insane magic tricks done in front of you. So have you?

If not, thanks for the thread bump. :D
Often times, it's the power of suggestion that makes you pick your "random" card though. Mind control is some crazy shit. Sometimes it's something as small as just a flicker of the card or that card sticking out from the fan a fraction of an inch that can sway your random pick to the card he wants you to pick. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If it didn't work, he would have faded back into the crowd anyway. No loss for him. But if it did work...you're still talking about it 12 years later. He gotcha.
