A Magical Classic!
You show three cards; one with a metallic blue spot and two with a metallic red spot.
Explain that this is a game for gambling, and whoever finds the blue spot wins a pound, but if that person is wrong, he must forfeit a pound.
You explain that you were once taken in by this game, and tell a tale as you show how it happened, losing three pounds because every time you thought you picked the blue card, it was red.
So, you accused the man of not even having a blue card.
He showed the bottom card as blue, so you lost another Pound!
So, you said that if it was the card on the bottom, it couldn't be the one on top, but again, you lost another pound!
It is then showed as the middle card as well, and by then, there's been six pounds lost.
So, you said that you thought he was using more than three cards, but were proven wrong and lost another pound.
So, the gambler gave you another chance, double or quits. He showed you that one card was red, another as blue, and all you had to do was name the color of the third card.
Red, right?
Wrong again!
It's not red, nor is it anything anyone would expect!
A brilliant trick with specially printed cards. Beautifully finished in metallic colours.
