Derren Brown did a great series of tricks based on probability.. your comment reminded me on the one that showed a video of him flipping 10 heads in a row on an unbiased coin. He revealed them that he had done it by flipping a coin for hours until he got that sequence.

Teller has made a similar statement, about practicing something more than anyone would find reasonable, so the trick is just in being able to do it.
