The Enigma Of A Brilliant Scientist.

One day I was showing my friends a "magic trick" I have invented. Really.The trick is to use a deck of cards cut in half the object of the trick is to match the cards the suits do not count.

I took one half the deck and took out the joker and laid it facedown on the table my friend Jim had the other half  of the deck, and I told him whatever card he lays down on the table this facedown card will match it and he was free to choose a different card at any time.

Jim decided on a card and had laid down a king of diamonds face up and I turn my card over (the joker) and yelled"Jokers are wild" and everyone  in the room started to laugh--lol

Days later at another friend's house Mike (who wants to be a brilliant scientist) I decided to do that "magic trick" again.

Same deal two half decks and no matter what card Mike would have choosen I would show him the joker and say " Jokers are Wild"

But guess what?  Mike's choosen card was the  joker   so I turn my card over which of course was the other joker but this time instead of saying"Jokers are wild" I kept my mouth shut.

Mike was amazed and ask me to do the trick again. I told him one of the magician's rules is not to do the same trick twice. So Mike had to figure how I did the trick on his own--lol

Where is Mike now?  My guess ,he is probably in some mental hospital trying to figure out how I did the trick.It will probably never occur to him it was all a coincidence. :)
