Do you believe in fortune tellers _ Can you believe what fortune tellers say?

Don't trust fortune telling.

Example:

There is a "psychic" in the west of Navigation Road, and even the last four digits of the license plate number and mobile phone number can be calculated. "You sit opposite to write the license plate number, and the fortune teller also writes. After writing, you take it out and he takes it out. The two license plates are exactly the same, which is amazing. " "There must be something wrong with this, but I don't know how they cheat." Such accurate fortune telling made Xiao Liu suspicious. Xiao Liu firmly believes that there is fraud in this. But where is the fraud, he didn't think clearly: what is this? Do fortune tellers really have the legendary "Eye of Heaven"? The unannounced visit was charged to 90 yuan, and the transaction was finalized 10 yuan. According to Xiao Liu, at noon on July 3, at the intersection of Daxue Road and Hanghai Road in Zhengzhou City, the reporter found a fortune teller and pretended to look for a job, so that he could calculate when he could find it. The fortune teller leaned against his bicycle and said loudly, "Little girl, I'll tell you, whether it's free or not." I am a layman in Wutai Mountain, and a bearded fortune teller insisted on calling me Master. I opened my eyes. "Asked the price, he said that according to the degree of sincerity, it is divided into three grades: 30 yuan, 60 yuan and 90 yuan. After bargaining, the transaction was finally concluded with 10 yuan, but payment must be made first.

He took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket and a pile of white paper strips nailed together, each about 5 cm ×2 cm in size. Then he drew on the white paper with a pen, as if writing something: "Look, I'll write down your brother and sister first, and you can talk about it later. Absolutely accurate. " But he insisted on not reading what he wrote. Then, he handed the pen to the reporter: "I have written the answer, and there is no pen in my hand." Now, tell me, are your parents still alive? "The reporter answered yes. He proudly took out a blank sheet of paper with the word "all" written on it. He asked again, "How many brothers and sisters are you?" This time, the reporter grew up and said 3 at random. He said, "To be honest, you can't lie. "After the reporter repeatedly assured that it was really three brothers and sisters, he took out a piece of white paper and tore off one:" Look, did I write three? " Sure enough, a "3" was written on the white paper. But "unfortunately", the reporter was actually five sisters. Blowing and burning paper can break the disaster? In order to further expose his scam, the reporter asked him to calculate when he could find a job. He said, "You can definitely find it next month. Don't look for jobs related to water, don't look for jobs in the northeast, look for jobs in the southwest. "However, he later said very seriously that because the reporter had a relationship with a woman who had an abortion, it affected her future. Even if she found a job, she would be replaced by a black and fat woman. Seeing that the reporter bowed his head and said nothing, he thought it was accurate and more excited. " There is a man who can't pursue you, and he will take revenge in the near future. If you don't get rid of it in time, that person will take drastic action. At that time, you may even lose your life. "The reporter pretended to be scared and asked the way to break the disaster. He took out a crumpled yellow paper from his trouser pocket and said, "Write your birthday on it. You rub it three times, blow it three times, make a wish, and I will burn it while chanting, and it will be a disaster. However, it will cost more. Others give it to 90 yuan, and you give it to 30 yuan. "The reporter said that there was no money, and he immediately said, then go and buy wrapped cigarettes. After the same rejection, he became angry from embarrassment: "If you are dishonest, you will be hit by a car. "

Most of these "mental calculations" are prepared. Although it is proved that the so-called "psychic calculation" is not accurate, it is difficult for ordinary people to figure out the mystery. Yesterday, Mr. Li, who is engaged in the study of Zhouyi, unveiled the mystery to reporters.

The first trick: the shadowless pen can be counted as several brothers and sisters, and the license plate number can be counted as "license plate number, mobile phone number, several brothers and sisters, etc." This is what we call a shadowless pen in the industry, and it is also used by many scammers. Mr. Li said. The so-called shadowless pen is nothing magical, usually a pencil refill or a ballpoint pen refill. "Divine calculation" puts it between your nails or sticks it near the palm of your thumb. When you say the license plate number, the "psychic" will randomly write it on paper according to your answer. "He said to write, actually didn't write, just see your answer, he didn't write a consistent number. Those people practice fingering every day if they have nothing to do. They practice quickly and accurately, and they can write backwards without looking. " Mr. Li said. But it is difficult to write complicated ones because the pen core is sandwiched between nails. Mr. Li said that the way to crack the "shadowless pen" is very good. As long as you deliberately say the wrong answer, "psychic calculation" must be wrong. Besides, you can't figure it out if you insist on not telling him.

The second trick: Yin and Yang paper can count all the information you wrote down, and there are some "mental calculations", which are not only related to numbers. It allows you to write information on a piece of paper. He knows what you wrote. What's going on here? According to Mr. Li's explanation, this is "yin and yang paper" The so-called "yin and yang paper" means that people will use ballpoint pens when writing information, and the paper used will be particularly thin. "When you finished writing, he tore up the paper and handed it to you. It seems that he didn't see anything, but in fact, because the paper used is relatively thin, generally speaking, people will use special force when writing with a ballpoint pen. Therefore, on the second page of the paper, they can see the written information very clearly. So he' calculated' it again. " Mr. Li said. The expert's explanation is accurate. Why not buy lottery tickets? There are many fortune tellers who set up stalls in the street, all under the banner of "six hexagrams" and "Zhouyi". According to Mr. Li's estimation, there are thousands of Zhouyi lovers in Zhengzhou, plus fortune tellers. If you count those who really have business licenses, it will be about 300 people. Mr. Li said: "We all have formal business licenses, which is the information consulting industry."
