off topic magic trick




Can YOU figure it out?????

This is a neat 'sleight of hand' card trick. It MAY not be physics, but
it's FUN and a good test of

1) Observation
2) Hypothesis (guessing)
3) Testing

All of which MIGHT be relevant to science.

It's DOWNRIGHT SPOOKY (until you realize EXACTLY how it is done.)
Try it!

Give it to your students and collegues to see how quickly THEY figure it out.
If YOU have trouble with the explanation, I suggest using a pencil and
paper to aid your observations.
