  • Seven of Spades

    Let's take the seven of spades.

    Spades means he's a "Professor."
    Seven is the second number in the second group.
    So we're looking for "Professor Byron Doubleday"

  • King of Hearts

    How about the King of Hearts?

    Hearts means he's a "Reverend."
    King is the 3rd card in the 3rd group.
    ...there he is, "Reverend Charles Triplett."

This scam is so convenient; it works over instant messaging, too.

Similarly, bring up the topic of mind control with your friend on instant messenger. Chat about the interview you saw on YouTube, and then ask him to try the experiment with you.

Tell him to relax, clear his mind, and prepare to read your following messages very carefully, which would be the lines form the poem-

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

Ask him to think of a playing card of his choosing. When he tells you his final decision, freak out by typing in all capitalized letters and using other tactics of dramatization.

Copy and paste the link corresponding to the desired interview from the list provided here to the IM window. Your friend will believe in mind control after watching the video.

Also try the scam over the phone if your friend has internet access on his cellphone or nearby!
