Just happened to be walking into Pick n Pay, Fish Hoek this morning/afternoon.. I hear this British accent and my friend and I are intrigued.
It so happens after I went to find out what the event and the festivity was , it's some bloke named Alan Marriott. If you have ever seen Darren Brown you will know what kind of person I am speaking about.
So this guy tells us that he will do a display there and then of a show that he is going to be doing on the 25th.
He whips three cards out of his pocket and tells my friend Richard to pick one, the cards have different shapes on them. Triangle, circle and square. After picking his card Richard is ordered to give me the other two cards he didn't chose and hold the chosen card flat down between his two hands. Then Richard gets told, after some eye staring etc that he is holding the card with the triangle.
Then he does it to the both of us, Richard picks the triangle again and this guy happens to KNOW that Richard MUST be trying to trick him.. he tells Richard this and then suddenly says Richards holding the triangle again. He was right. My turn. I chose the card with a circle, he was right again.
This is where he singled me out and says that when he tells me, I must put my hands behind my back and chose a number with my fingers. Richard stands behind me to make sure that I don't change the fingers I have chosen.
First time round he stares at me, deeply into my eyes and I choose the number two, by default my pointy and middle finger. He guesses two. He was right.
Second time round he tells me to "clear" my mind. I am not the type to really give into these hypnotic types. Anyways, while thinking about other random things, he stares deep into my eyes again and guesses correctly the number which I have chosen. Five.
Trickery? Magic? Skill? Power of suggest? Conscious suggestions? Subconsciously suggesting something to me, in order to subdue my will?
Not sure what to make of it.

I think there's definitely some subliminal persuasion going on. But then again there are some strange things we just can't explain... yet. Not saying this was the case in your experience, but yeah, who knows?
Yeah, will be interesting. Going to his show on the 25th. I mean we could easily say that he had friends indicating out what I had chosen. But then again, I don't think so. How is it done.. I really have no idea. I guess most people will say it's the help of friends.. or microphones or whatever, since the "camera tricks" excuse just doesn't work anymore when you have someone do it to you like that.
i don't know if this is a coincident, but you chose 2 and 5.
His show is on the 25th.
maybe that?
