I made sure they knew nothing about this. You don't have to believe me, but it's true.

so how until there is a girls of Rev 3 calender???

Glad to see this is out of beta testing, I'm still not a huge fan of the trick, but it looks like it's getting great reception

That is a FANTASTIC idea!

They need to at least see how many people would want one. I don't buy calenders but I'd so pony up for one.

What if someone picked the Joker card, though? Brian never explained what name that would be.

He says pick a card from the 52 card deck the Joker isn't included in the 52 playing cards...but way to think outside the box

Just make sure you say 52 cards. Other than that... I don't know what you would/should do.

I love this scam, I sure hope I can pull it off, one thing though...

What happens when you tell them to look for Doctor Byron Singleton and you have Reverend Edgar Singleton, Doctor Byron Triplett and Professor Alfred Singleton RIGHT THERE in the Related Videos showing the same guy?

Couple of solutions:
1. do it on an iPhone (my personal fav method) so the related videos don't show up until after its done
2. go fullscreen
3. prey they don't see them (and help out by throwing random tags such as "byron" "professor" etc in any vids you upload), Brian has been getting everyone to this for a couple months now, so it's becoming less and less frequent

Fun stuff! So I imagine he got the idea for this from something called NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming), so he decided to develop a cheat for it, hehe, nice. Here is an example of NLP from a British magician named Darren Brown used on Simon Pegg!...

I also made my own 1-sheet cheat sheet for it, for anyone who wants...

I added jokers, usually a deck has a color joker and a black joker, and I know Brian said a "deck of 52", but that's a choice. I know there aren't any videos recorded for the jokers, but oh well, the sheet covers all bases. And, hell, even if you do say 52, there's still a chance they'll say joker!
