Somewhat related, maybe off-topic... but I remember back in the late 80s (or possibly 1990), they had a magician perform during the halftime show of the Superbowl (American Football). The general gist of the effect was that the magician "predicted" what the audience (50,000+ screaming football fans) would pick by registering the amount of applause. The "reveal" of the prediction was fantastic - on the bottom of everyone's seat was the prediction (choice #3 out of a list of 4 choices IIRC), and of course, he got it right.
I believe I know how he pulled this one off, having to do with the psychology of large crowds. At any rate, I doubt I would ever be brave enough to try something like that on such a grand stage!

Guyjr,
Wow that sounds amazingly ballsy. I would love to see a video of it. He better had a backup if it didn't work haha.
My episode has been aired on TV. In a week's time I will be getting a copy of it which I can upload on YouTube. Will let you know when I have done so.
So did you ever get the video uploaded onto YouTube?
