Recently I encountered a joker. He was joking a lot but no harm done until this.
I had the max out and stayed at my hard 18. Dealer face card is 3. Then when it was his turn, he suddenly turned to me and told me "Give me $50, or I will split my 10's." I called him bluff and told him go ahead that I don't care. He said, "Last chance, I had a feeling that dealer will get to 19 and beat you if I split the tens. Do you want to lost $500 or $50?" The other two people said there is no way he could know that. I said no. Everybody else stayed.
The joker got 10 then another 10, so ends up with two 20. Dealer's down card is 3, then he draw another 3, then 10. Everybody but him lost. He said, "I told you." I still insisted that it is a lucky guess and he doesn't have super power. But if I had paid him $50, dealer would bust it.
