Small kid guessing

[Andrewebyy]

It's supposed to be done through some subliminal messages I think, it's quiet interesting how that kid is able to guess that:

meh, the guy was shaking his head up and down and stopped when he reached the letter O so the kid stopped there. Plus he had the kid pick any cup and he picked the middle one. The eenie meanie miny moe crap was to force him to pick to the cup that had the orange in it. I am sure they would keep playing the game until he picked the right cup. What other common item starts with the letter O that a small kid would say right away. It is like A is for apple, or C is for cat.

 

[Rakehellion]

Yeah, the gimmick was pretty obvious. The kid didn't seem too impressed either.

You know how I know you're sure? They fast forwarded through all the failed attempts. What's funny is they showed that, when they didn't have to.

Interesting though, that that kid stopped next time on O, even when the guy didn't shake his head.

That is my point the guy stopped shaking his head at the end of N. The kid seeing him stop was a sign the kid processed as I should stop now too.
He was quick to say he picked the letter O right after he said O. Even if the kid went on to P the guy could have just said, name a fruit that you have to peel and the kid would say orange, or maybe banana but the guy would just keep playing games until the kid said Orange.

And the moral of the story is? Anytime you see 3 upside down cups, run. It's a con.

 

[Andrewebyy]

Seems like a con but an interesting one. I love how the kid exclaims at the end 'wow'!

he didnt pick o because the guy shakes his head. The guy makes an o with his hands. He holds up his hands thumb to thumb and finger to finger

There were multiple things he was doing. 'Eenie meanie minie moe' was part of it too. He put O in the kids brain

The orange would've been done with priming by saying apple.

1. What are the colors of a chess board?
2. Think of a country in Africa.
3. Think of an animal.



Most likely Zebra popped into your mind for #3! :awe:
