The Hands On Whoozie Stick - Contra-intuitional!

The Whoozie stick video *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siJnFWup_ro*
seems to show the propeller on the end of the stick obeying my voice commands. Of course, that's because we intuitively look for cause-effect relationships in a time frame. This is, of course, a logical fallacy (Post hoc, ergo propter hoc is the Latin phrase.)

For the real explanation you have to use your own intelligence and experience, or go to the Whoozie Stick explanationvideo.
