Three Card Monte



You will need:

Four random cards

Scissors

Glue or invisible tape

Effect:

Three cards are shown and the spectator is asked to note the middle card. The cards are then turned over and the middle card is taken out and it changes.

Tutorial:


 * 1) Before you begin your trick, take one of the cards and cut it in half. Watch one of the videos on the right to see how the card should now look.
 * 2) Tape or glue the cut card to the middle of one of the other cards and make it slightly tilted and again, check the videos to see how you should do it.
 * 3) Take another card and put it behind that cut card.
 * 4) Take your other card and put it on top of the cut card, so it now looks like you have three cards.
 * 5) Show them the cards faceup and tell them to note the middle card.
 * 6) Turn over the cards so that they're facedown and then, take out the middle card so that they can see that the middle card has changed.

It is recommended for this trick that you see the example videos on the top-right corner.
