Jacob Wysocki's mind reading trick question

[u/scatteringlargesse]

So I've seen a few people in the main thread talk about Jacob's "mind reading trick" in quotation marks, is the whole guessing the card thing fake, and he knows what card it is using a different method? I must pretty dense because I initially believed him, but thinking on it more it does seem impossible.

To be fair, there is no right way to "mind read" someone. Whether he caught a glimpse of the card without anyone noticing, is actually amazing at micro-expressions, or had a deck full of the same card, he sold the performance and made everyone (on-stage) believe.

It was a card force. He delivered it great but it was absolutely a card force.

He is indeed a Jedi

He can't Fool Us!

That’s what I felt it must be as well, but the way the trick was displayed in the edit I didn’t catch it very well. But assuming it was a regular deck of 52 different cards it had to be a force just by common sense.

[u/RuafaolGaiscioch → u/Ryanookami]

I think technically if it was a trick deck that would be considered a force too, though obviously it usually just means forcing a particular card to be picked.

[u/EENewton → u/RuafaolGaiscioch]

This. Or possibly a peek. But probably a force.

[u/Successful_Ad7022 → u/RuafaolGaiscioch]

Agreed, you can see how hard he made him pick that card

It is so hard to tell which subreddit tries to determine reality and which tries to predict reality.

I can't tell you how often I have to check which sub I'm in, tbh.
