The Magic Cafe Forums - Card trick with computer (Can't find it)

I hope this is an ok place to ask about this.

About a year ago I received a PM from a member here at the Café sharing an idea for a card trick that's done on the computer. If you read this please forgive me for not remembering you who are at the moment.

Anyway, the card trick goes like this.

You bring your spectators to a computer and go to a URL. This page will contain a flash (.swf) of a black screen with cards moving around in a circle. You can only see the backs of the cards.

You spectator names a card. Then you tell the spectator to click one of the cards on the screen. When they do the card they clicked moves to the front of the screen and all the cards turn face up. The one they clicked is the card they named.

The method was that you had a stooge on another computer listening in to the performance on their phone. Their computer is on a different URL that contains pictures of all 52 cards. When they hear the name of the card the spectator named they click the appropriate card on their computer. What ever card they click on will be the one they'll see on the .swf page when the spectator clicks it.

This was shared here on the Café and he even sent it to me. But I had a hard drive crash since so I don't have it anymore. I've been searching the Café but I can't find it anywhere.

If you know where this is please let me know. If the one who created this and sent it to me reads this first I'm very sorry for not remembering your user name.

Thanks.

I learned that there is magic all around you. The simplest sounds that amazed me you probably ignore. Look and listen around you right now. You'll find something you didn't notice before.
