Three Card Monte (trick)

Fool people and make then look stupid every time

Step 1: Equipment

Get 2 identical (if possible) cards and one different card

Step 2: Bending the Cards

Slightly bend along the black lines (not a long the white lines like I have done) so they are easier to pick up with your fingers

Step 3: Terms and Picking Up the Cards

Black cards = looser
Red cards = winner
Real throw = throw the cards without fooling the audience
Fake throw = throw the cards normally but fool the audience

Turn all cards upsidown on the table top

Pick up a loser in your left hand between your thumb and your first finger

And loser in your right hand between your thumb and your second finger

Then pick up the winner in your right hand between your thumb and your first finger

Pick all up at the centre crease

Step 4: Dropping Cards

To let the person your fooling think they are good at this game, show the picked up cards to the audience. drop the winner in the right hand onto the table then drop the looser in the left hand onto the table, both face down! Then throw the last looser down on the table also face down. Throw all the cards in a row. Do this slowly so the person thinks the game is easy. They should know where the winner is and pick the right card

Step 5: Master and Repeat Step 4

Do step NO 4 many times to make it look like the game is easy

Step 6: The Trick

Hold the cards normally. Show them to the audience and instead of dropping the winner on the table let the looser slide out between your thumb and 2nd finger onto the table first (all in your left hand). So now 1 card is on the table, people think it is a looser but it really the winner drop the rest of the cards normally this should be done quickly and effortlessly so the audience support nothing

Step 7: Keep on Practising

Master the whole trick and fool people over and over again

Step 8: A Bit of Info

If you ever see somebody doing this trick but getting people to put money on what card they think is the winner stay well back
