Vertigotogo Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Does it involve putting 2 pieces of paper into your friend's hand? If so, the 'trick' is that the first piece of paper he puts into your hand does not contain the information you have given him (it's common just to write the word 'GOD' on this first piece). Then, later, when he puts the second piece of paper in your hand (which he says has 'GOD' written on it), this second piece of paper actually contains the answers to the questions that he has now managed to obtain from you. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Everything is a scam in Thailand! Didn't you realise that yet ? Some of the best tricks are the easiest to do when you know how. I used to dabble a little in magic back in the UK. Even joined the magic circle. Now I just do a little for kids to amuse them and keep my hand in.

LennyW Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 A trick perhaps, illusion maybe - but scam? How exactly is it a scam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaifan2 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 A trick perhaps, illusion maybe - but scam? How exactly is it a scam? Maybe its like the young Indian guy i met a few months ago on Soi 4 Nana Bangkok .He gave me one piece of paper and asked me to write down my favorite number and color .He guessed both right .Then he said that for a donation of B2,000 he could tell me far more information about myself .I declined his offer .

glanville63 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I got 15 posts on this item exactly the same. Thai Visa tells us you are a senior member but do you really know how to use this site. Illusion, which this is, should not be confused with a scam which infers that the guy was attempting to extract money from you under false pretences.
