This is the three card monte routine that Henry Evans featured in his card act that won him first place for card magic at the 2000 FISM conference. A classic three card monte but with a difference. The "winner" card and two indifferent cards are shown full faces toward the audience. One of the indifferent cards is placed aside or in a glass in full view of the audience. The winner card and other indifferent card are then placed face down on the close up mat. They are clearly shown and placed on the mat. Spectator now tries to locate the winner. Both are turned over and shown to be indifferent cards. The winner card is now in the glass. Absolutely no sleight of hand and all cards can be examined at the end of the routine. WARNING. Although this is an absolutely powerful three card monte routine, you WILL need a close up mat to perform this and you must work this effect on a table. It is NOT a walk around effect. It's a killer to add to your close up show but the restrictions above do apply. This has fooled virtually every magician who has seen it.
