Text(IN+errata):Whenever a player chooses one or more targets, each player
reveals the top card of his or her library. The player who reveals the
card with the highest converted mana cost may change the target or
targets. If two or more cards are tied for highest cost, the target or
targets remain unchanged. Changing the targets this way doesn't trigger
this ability. [Oracle 2001/08/24]
You can change all, some, or none of the targets. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
You cannot change the number of targets, choose an illegal target, or
make something get targeted more than once. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
An empty library will have no card to reveal, so a player with an empty
library has no card to compare. The effect looks for the highest cost
card of the cards that actually are revealed. [D'Angelo 2000/11/17]
With the Split Cards (see Rule K.24), use the higher of the two costs on
the card to compare with the other card. [DeLaney 2000/10/30]
Note -Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule K.8.

Text(UG+errata):Each player reveals the top card of his or her library to
all other players by continuously holding it against his or her forehead.
This doesn't allow a player to look at his or her own card. (That card
still counts as the top card of your library. If you would draw a card,
draw that one instead and replace it with the next card of your library.)
[D'Angelo 2000/03/09 - unofficial errata]
This card is hard to play with when Handcuffs is affecting you.
[Barclay 1998/08/13]
You may tell an opponent (not a teammate) what their card is. You may
also lie about this. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
Licking your card or using sweat on your forehead to stick it is legal.
[QAS 1998/09/09] But you have to be careful about marking the card.
Balancing the card on your glasses or sticking it in the strap of a
backwards worn baseball cap also works. [QAS 1998/09/09]
If there is a mirror (or similar object) such that a player can see their
own card, they must reorient themselves or cover the mirror.
[D'Angelo 1999/02/21] Vampires are exempt from this rule. [Dracula]
All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.

When a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard ~this~
from your hand, that player loses 5 life. [Oracle 2002/03/01]
The loss of life cannot be prevented by any means. It is not damage.
[bethmo 1994/06/15] See Rule G.21.2.
Not triggered by effects which cause the hand to be reshuffled into the
library like Winds of Change, but is triggered by effects which say to
discard entire hand such as Wheel of Fortune. [Aahz 1994/06/16]
Not triggered by payment of costs like Land's Edge.
[D'Angelo 1995/10/11]
Is triggered even if the discard goes to the top of your library because of
the Library of Leng. [WotC Rules Team 1995/05/10]
It is not triggered if Psychic Purge is countered and thereby sent to the
graveyard. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 9] This is not a discard.

Text(PY+errata):Target player reveals his or her hand. Choose an instant
or sorcery card from it, and remove that card from the game. As long as
the card remains removed from the game, you may play it as though it were
in your hand. At end of turn, if you haven't played the card, return it
to its owner's hand. [Oracle 2002/03/01]
The card is revealed to all players while it is removed from the game.
[DeLaney 2000/05/29]
You can play the instant or sorcery during the end of turn step after you
put the "at end of turn" trigger on the stack, as long as you do so before
that trigger resolves. [Prophecy FAQ 2000/05/25]
The card may only be played once. Once it is announced and put on the
stack, the card is no longer removed from the game and the effect of
Psychic Theft ends. [D'Angelo 2000/07/06]
