The classic Game of "3-Card Monte"
In a New Version with Jumbo cards that's filled with Surprises!
Three cards are shown: two black tens, and a queen of hearts.
The spectator is asked to "find the lady," but that's not possible, for now the performer holds three black tens---the queen is found inside the magician's pocket!
The game is repeated with the four-card set. Again, the spectator is unable to find the queen, for the packet now consists of four tens; the queen is again inside the magician's pocket!
The performer suggests that a five-card game is too difficult, so one card is dealt aside. The remaining cards are mixed. The spectator is asked to locate the queen--- and of course, suspects that the card that was put aside is the one. In fact, that card turns out to be the only black ten --- and the other four cards are now seen to be all queens, one of each suit!!
