The Interrogator makes a scarily accurate prediction.

A card trick⌗

SIGNAL⌗

The Interrogator draws 5 cards from a deck. He asks that the viewer predict what each card is before revealing the answer. - @7:33

ACTION⌗

I played along. And I successfully guessed both cards #1 and #3!

  1. Jack of Hearts
  2. I don’t remember my choice
  3. 7 of Spades
  4. I don’t remember my choice
  5. I remember my choice

If you had seen the face I made, my surprise would have been obvious to you. I can still feel the hair standing on the back of my neck.

ANALYSIS⌗

While this could be coincidence, chances are very low (a 1 in 2704 chance). I am more inclined to believe that researchers have developed a predictive computer model that is able to determine, with a high chance of success, what a person will do at any given moment. The brain is deterministic. Thus, if you front-load the person and the computer model with the same input (this video), leading up to a specific moment in time (the card reveal), a computer may be able to reasonably guess what a human will choose in that moment. What comes before the card reveal is essentially calibration/tuning of the mind.

To put a bullet-point on this analysis: the 5th card was never revealed. Almost certainly, this is to protect the integrity of my first in-person meeting with The Interrogator.

We will both reveal what we think that 5th card was, and we will both be astonished when it is correct (a 1 in 140,608 chance).
