I got this in an email today & it's pretty freaky! I'm sure there's a way to figure it out, but still it's pretty cool!

I think it's because the cards change. When it said he took my card I looked and saw at least 3 of the cards were different!
That's what I was thinking... LOLOriginally posted by mzjazz2u

When the cards change they are still so close to what was up there the first time that most people don't notice.
There are a lot of sites that do this trick. The cards do change. If you write down all the cards and then doublecheck them in the 2nd viewing (which flashes so it's hard to do this) you'll find it's true. I just remembered that the Kings were hearts and spades in the first grouping and the Queens and Jacks were hearts and spades in the second grouping.
All the cards get changed. I've seen this before on a different site.
I wrote the cards down, too, and they all do change. You are sidetracked into concentrating on one card, so you don't notice all are different.
BTW, I saw David Copperfield live years ago. It was an incredible show. He is very funny, and really makes everything absolutely believable.

Yep, that's the way these things work. There's always a mathematical reason or method hidden in there, so always strip it down to logical thinking. How could it be done and always be right? In this case, the only way for him to make it look like your card was taken is to take all of them away and replace them each with something similar. Like was said, the trick counts on the probability that you will only pay attention to the card you picked.
