Weirdly, when I looked at this from my FL page, it showed me an anti-Obama attack ad...

that's curious: it's not the first such glitch I've been told of. The last time I posted a YouTube object my brother saw a completely different video, too.

I noticed the back splash change and had to go back and make sure I wasn't crazy before I watched the rest of the video... which explained why the back splash had changed. Ooops. Still want to know how they did the card trick. :)

You weren't paying attention, then. They do a deck-swap off camera, you can see it near the beginning of the "bigger picture" explanation. The card trick, as they said, isn't the point.

Well knock me down and call me an idiot.

I noticed early on that they had the advantage of being able to "direct your eyes," by use of the camera, but I completely missed the colour changes until the end.
