Default Odd "psychic" site

I can't figure out how they do it, but hell, it's Friday.

Its a good trick though, you have to do it a few times to spot it, or have a very good mathematical or pattern recognition facility perhaps.

Bah. The FIRST thing I noticed was that symbols repeat. That's easier than the dumb card website.

That dumb card trick I figured out fast by writing down what each card was on the first page. Then I chose the King of Hearts, clicked on it, and saw that the remainder of the cards were all different than the first page. End of card trick.
