It's going to get less accurate as the months go by. It's a simple #arithmetic trick, and you can tell which year the image was faked for.
The number, in repetitions on the WWW, goes as low as 78, so you can tell what year this trick began doing the rounds, too.
Now for true mentalist tricks, look at how the GNU date command and a POSIX-conformant shell can magically, with just one line, work out the year that you were born:
date -r "-$(((2+1)*3*2*5*487*6*10*9<<4))" +'%Y'

Now You See Me Live
Magic! Illusions! Danger!
We haven’t seen any of the Now You See Me movies, but B was excited to see the stage show featuring professional magicians and escape artists in action. So back to the Sydney Opera House for the second time this month, just a couple of days before Christmas, this time with Alex coming along too.
On the way in we are asked to take four playing cards from a bin.
What follows is about two hours of sleights of hand, illusions, escapology and mentalism, performed by American Adam Trent, Italian Andrew Basso, Frenchman Enzo Weyne, Canadian Gabriella Lester and Englishman Matthew Pomeroy. There’s card tricks, supposed teleportation, an escape from a water torture box and a live scorpion. There is also plenty of audience participation, so if that’s not your thing don’t sit in the front few rows.
For those of you who might watch, I have no wish to spoil the fun by describing the stunts. Many of them leaving you wondering how they were done, which I think accounts for some of the subdued applause during the show.
Aside from the escapology, which is obviously a largely physical skill on the part of the practitioner (primarily Basso, in this case), magic works by clever contraptions and distraction, along with the fact that our conscious thoughts are preceded by subconscious actions and assumptions. Does free will even exist? Perhaps not, and this is of use to those who would manipulate thought and observation.
Rather than appreciating the deception, I find myself more interested in how the tricks were performed. Of course, this will not be revealed here, so I am left a bit unmoved by the experience. Though I have never watched a professional magic show live before, the performances also feel far too familiar from having sat through too many of the America and Britain’s Got Talent shows that B likes to watch.
If that’s your thing then you will probably enjoy Now You See Me Live. B and Alex certainly did. The audience, many of whom gave a standing ovation seemed to as well. Guess I am a bit disillusioned by magic!

You know, you rarely see a mentalist straighten a bent spoon.

Trying to sell my treasured copy of the rare Derren’s Brown book, Absolute Magic. I had it signed by Derren, in person, because I knew he wouldn’t like me having that older book. I then took it to Penn and Teller and got them to sign it, because I thought it would be funny.
Derren’s didn’t like me having the book, andPenn and Teller did not think it was funny, but they signed it like good sports, all the same.
Pleas boost to see if there are any fellow travellers out there in need of rare knowledge.

Long read but interesting on why LLMs are so convincing, the same way cold reading can be.
"The warnings also play a role in setting the stage. “It’s early days” means that when the statistically generic nature of the response is spotted, it’s easily dismissed as an “error”. Anthropomorphising concepts such as using “hallucination” as a term help dismiss the fact that statistical responses are completely disconnected from meaning and facts."
The author has a book to sell, but interestingly it's on how to use them if you do.

I just realized I haven't done an #introduction toot, so here 'tis. I create online training courses independently and for LinkedIn Learning, mostly on #tableau and #microsoft #excel, and do a bit of writing and #keynote #speaking as well.
I also dabble in #boardgames and #wargames, especially as applied to business strategy, and have been a professional #improv performer since 1993. Other performing interests include #magic and #mentalism, especially as they intersect with #law and #rhetoric.
