Oh, LOL that's a pretty good trick then but I can't believe it pwned me like that.

Ya, I know that one. It's an old trick. Basically, what they do is they show you 6 random cards, each alternating colors (red, black, red, black). You pick a card and then they say that your card "DISAPPEARED". What they actually did is they ALTERNATED the suit. So if you chose 7 of diamonds, they switch it to 7 of HEARTS. They do this so it doesn't look obvious. Your mind focuses ONLY on the card that you picked (In my case, the 7 of DIAMONDS). You are semi conscious of the other cards and are somewhat AWARE of the numbers and colors they have, but when your card goes missing, the OTHER cards switch suits too, so you don't even notice that you've been had.
