Three Card Monte
Effect:
The magician displays 3 cards on a table. 2 are the same card and 1 is a different card. The magician shows the audience the different card they have to find and tells them to keep an eye on it. He then turns all the cards over and mixes them up and asks the audience to point to the card they think is the different card. They are always wrong.
Method:
Before you start the trick you will need to bend the three cards down the middle, long ways.
In this example I am going to use the 2 black tens and a Queen of hearts.
First you display 3 cards. It is best to do this on some sort of table. You turn all the cards over and tell the audience that they have to find the Queen of Hearts. Then you turn the cards back over and lift up one of the tens. The example fig 1 shows this.
