Use MIND CONTROL to force a game of tic tac toe!

Revision3 Summary

This week we've got another gem from the brilliant mind of Martin Gardner: It's a totally fair game of tic tac toe... But at the end, you reveal that you had PREDICTED the exact placement of all the x's and o's!

The setup: Before the trick, make a prediction with a tic tac toe board that looks like this:

OXO

OXX

XOX

Set the prediction off to the side, and start playing tic tac toe (make sure you take the center square with x)

The rules: as you start playing, let them mark "o" anywhere they want, but on your turn, follow these rules:

• if they pick a corner, select the next box CLOCKWISE.

• if they pick a side box, select the next box COUNTERCLOCKWISE

THE REVEAL:

As long as you follow these rules, the final result will match your prediction!

DOT TV domain name tells users that you are serious about creating and sharing great video content on the web. If your site has a play button, you should have a DOT TV. No matter the subject, on a DOT TV domain name is where video content should live. Make a statement about your video and your site.

Next Week

Next week, we'll be meeting with a nature expert who will teach us how to stop a charging jaguar with an intense stare. So until then, I'm going to look in a mirror and practice my intense stare. Stare!
