Yes, you are very clever. But, as a general principle, please do not spoil
magic tricks for others by revealing the secret. You deprive others of the
ability to be amazed.

Any budding magicians out there: that web page has a really killer effect.
It startles everyone who sees it, including experienced magicians. But it
is also a classic example of why you shouldn't show a trick more than
once.
