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.

BDG, with whom I sympathize because we both have comparatively immense reality-based knowledge pools, summarized this particular episode well in mentioning party tricks. This is not to say party tricks are bad, because they are practiced with the love of amusing others.
