Subject: Power of suggestion
I found this about a month ago. I suppose it may
give some light relief. Below is stolen from
somewhere. Now this has nothing to do with Derren or Trap
number four.

Power of
suggestion
... if there was any doubt in
your mind:

A researcher at the University of California, San
Diego has found that deaths caused by heart attacks
among U.S. residents of Chinese and Japanese descent
tend to spike on the fourth of the month, an increase
linked to the psychological stress brought about by fear
of the number
itself.

I wonder how many Chinese and Japanese punters
would bet on the fourth dog?
Worth a thought for
all the mentalists.
Cheers,
Gordon
