One more for the pile:

<a href="http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/esp.html">Clifford Pickover's ESP Experiment</a>

There is a logical explanation for the fact that this experiment succeeds in removing your card EVERY time -- an explanation that does not involve ESP, supernatural forces or psychic mumbo-jumbo. See how long it takes you to figure it out -- took me about ten minutes...

I've seen that before, and I picked up on it pretty quickly, about five minutes of staring at the cards thinking, "What the hell am I missing?"

edit: weird, I just noticed I broke a hundred posts. huh.
