Traditional
three card monte routines are confusing. Half of the
time your audience gets mixed up as to which card is
which. And remember what the Professor Dai Vernon once
said, "Confusion is not magic!"
Effect: The magician fans three cards face-up to show
one red Queen sandwiched between two Jokers. Without
mixing them the cards are turned face-down and a
spectator is asked to locate the Queen. Each time the
spectator chooses a card- it is shown to be a Joker. For
the finale the Queen visibly changes into a Joker-
making all of the cards Jokers. Then to everyone's
surprise the cards are handed out for inspection or as a
souvenir!
There is NO palming, switches, double-lifts, rough &
smooth, multiple push-offs or special printed cards.
The sleight of hand employed is minimal and you will
likely be performing this in minutes after watching the
DVD. While any brand of card can be used, I've included
some poker Bicycle cards to get you started.
"This has been my favorite three card monte routine for
twenty years because it looks so fair, seems move-less,
packs a big punch and ends clean. I also think that it
will fast become your favorite version of the monte!"
