In search of the Giant Snow Monster—a great sucker trick with a surprise punch! You show five cards blank on both sides (snow) and a sixth card with a picture of a strange footprint—Bigfoot! The Bigfoot card is mixed in with the blanks and the spectator tries to "track down" Bigfoot by selecting a card. The chosen card is turned over and sure enough, he's found Bigfoot! Amazing! The spectator tries again, and you triumphantly show the face of the selected card stating that the spectator has again tracked down Bigfoot!! However, the spectator points out that it is a blank card!
"I don't know how you missed. You must have gone snow-blind!” you say as you show the rest of the packet is now all Bigfoot cards!

Overview
This is a Trost packet trick. With this one, you apparently show 5 double blank card and one card with a footprint on it. The cards are shown on both sides to be blank and the "footprint" card is lost in the packet. The spectator is able to randomly pick a card and it is the big foot card. They try again and miss with a double blank card, and then the performer taunts them (slightly) and asks how they could have missed and shows all 5 cards to have a footprint on it...it must have been snow blindness!As far as packet tricks go, this is not exactly the most amazing, but it is entertaining and a bit different.
Effect
As explained above, this is a playful packet trick with playing cards with images of a foot print and blank sides. You cannot hand out the cards until the trick is over.Method
The method employs carefully handling of the card, fanning, and a flustration. You need to remember how and when to turn the cards, but its not tough.Product Quality
The quality of the cards is fine and the two pages of instructions are clear and easy to follow. No complaints in this regard.Ad Copy Integrity
