Blushing Monte (Scott Hart)......$8.50
The magician displays two red aces and a black ace. The black ace
is placed in between the two red aces facing up. The cards are
squared up and when they are displayed again the black ace has
turned face down. The face down black ace remains face down as
the cards are squared up again. Now when the cards are spread out
the black ace is now face up and one red ace is face down! The
cards are squared up once again and this time when the cards are
spread out all three aces are face up! The magician then says he will
do it again. The black ace again is face up in the middle and yet
magically turns face down. The face down black ace is placed on the
table leaving the two red aces in the performer's hand. The magician
asks the spectator "Where is the black ace?" The spectator replies,
"On the table." The magician turns the black ace up and to the
spectator's surprise, the Ace of Spades has changed to a RED ACE
OF SPADES!!!. The magician then states "Never bet on the BLACK
card because you'll lose every time!"
Here's what Michael Skinner had to say about this effect: "This effect
is a nice original version of the THREE CARD MONTE. I like these
tricks that have a surprise finish!"
You are supplied with the special Bicycle red faced ace of spades
and complete routined instructions.
