I knew the trick and I still missed it.

You're supposed to count them while you're reading, without going over each word or rereading. That's part of the rules. He probably got it from a source that didn't have them.

I did. I read it backwards.

Besides, it isnt the original one. The original one has 11.

This is a very old tool used to teach people that they do not always see what they read, and if you read backwards from the end of a statement, your mind will pick up what your eyes do not often give it time to decipher, which usually ends up being words like "if" and "of", because the "F" is at the end of the word, rather than at the beginning or middle.

You picked up the meaning of the words backwards?

Who said anything about picking up the meaning of the words? I asked him to count the "F"s and that's what he did :rolleyes

You missed the point of the original puzzle, then.
