I picked a card, went to the next page and immediately saw that none of the cards were the same as the previous page. Maybe it's because I play too much poker or maybe it because I thought about what people would be most likely to pick which made me notice all the cards on the first page but I was pretty disappointed when the next page showed up and I instantly figured it out =( That’s an experiment?

It took me several minutes to figure it out, but it's amazing how simple it actually is. It should work 100% of the time unless the person misreads the cards or the creator of the site specifically made it such that some of the links don't do the trick completely. Let's just say that no matter what card you pick, it will be absent from the second set of cards (unless they intentionally didn't do it for every link). One problem, though, is that some people will view the second set of cards and think that it didn't remove their card because they notice another one gone first. Quite the interesting set of psychological factors at work. That is an awesome trick. It took me several minutes to figure it out, but it’s amazing how simple it actually is.
