i just watch Cyril: Simply Magic on AXN tadi. it's a new magic tv show, by the way. it is just like David Blaine street magic yang well-known itu, but this time around, it was Cyril. he is half japan and half france. so you couldnt defined him as japanese or french because he looks like very Asian, but not in Japan look. SouthEast Asia-types, perhaps.
and well, Cyril got me fascinated. it's not like i never watch any magic series before, but the tricks that he plays on the audience on tv really makes me wanna makes him as my topic for today.
i dont get fascinated by his other trick because anything could happen. the audience might has been bribed before they started to shoot, no?? i get fascinated on this particular trick where Cyril use a handphone and chose audience at home to be scammed.
let me tell you the trick. who knows you might get fascinated, just like me.
first, Cyril told the audience at home to take their handphone. so i took my W200i.
he told that we're gonna use the handphone keypad as the trick.
he told us to put our finger (ibu jari) on the keypad number 1. then he told us to think of a number. any number from 0-9. so i chose number 5.
then he told us to spell the number we took by using the handphone keypad. start to spell the number from the following number on the keypad.
for example: i chose number 5, right? so i should started to spell F-I-V-E, start from the keypad that shows number 2. so F=2, I=3, V=4, and E=5.
so now my finger was on keypad that shows number 5.
then Cyril told us to repeat the same step again. so i spelt F-I-V-E again. F=6, I=7, V=8, and E=9. so now my finger is on keypad that shows number 9. get it?
last step, he told us to repeat the same step as above, but now, spelt the number that your current finger was placed on. in my case, my finger was on keypad number 9, so i definitely should spelt number 9, no? so i started to spell N-I-N-E. so N=0, I=1, N=2, and E=3. get it?
so the hardest part on Cyril was to actually guess the number that i've just got which is NUMBER THREE, no?? so he was like "stick there, dont move because i wanna read your mind. *sambil itu dia bergerak rapat ke camera macam dia betul2 nak baca fikiran saya*
untuk lebih saspen dan debaran, he said that he's gonna let his handphone camera finished the job. so he snapped a picture of the building and he shows his handphone very close to the camera. at that time, he was on Singapore Flyer (sebijik macam Ferris Wheel or Eye on Malaysia tuh. boleh imagine tak?). so he snapped a picture of a building that can be viewed from the ferris wheel.
AND I CAN CRYSTALLY CLEAR SEE THAT THERE IS NUMBER THREE IN THE PICTURE!!
omaigod, omaigod. magic, kan?
but i am not gonna to be fooled by this man. so i am thinking that it is just a coincidence. so i came up with this theory.
Hypothesis:
the final result must be THREE, no matter what number you'd chose on the first place. be it, 2, 3, 4, or 7.
Experiment:
so to prove it, i try with number 6 pulak.
Result
tettt.... saya tak dapat number three sebagai jawapannya.
Conclusion:
so, does this Cyril really read minds??
for those who have astro,you guys should watched this. on AXN. try to experience this. i mean, if ever you guys watch this, try to think of number 6 pulak. sebab if you guys choose number 6, the result must be number TWO. tengok if Cyril tricks you jugak. hehe~
p/s: this particular trick tunjuk nak dekat last2... lagi 15minit sebelum the show ends. you guys should try. pastu boleh laa kite kongsi-kongsi pengalaman. ahaks~
