UNQUESTIONABLY ONE OF THE GREATESTAUDIENCE TRICKS OF ALL TIME.
Magi shows three cards - two Jacks and one Queen. He places them on an easel, backs toward the audience, requesting that the position of Queen be noted. The cards are slowly moved as in the famous Three-Card trick. It seems certain that the Queen is at one end - and spectators are not slow to call out its position. When card is turned face outward it is a Jack. The spectator's second choice is also a Jack. The Magi then shows the Queen.
Magi says, "I'll do it again," and he does. Spectators are sure that Queen is the middle card, but they see their mistake - so they pick an end card. Again they are wrong. They pick the other end card. AGAIN they are wrong. The first card shown proves to be the Queen.
And now Magi shows HOW TO PICK OUT THE QUEEN, using a handkerchief to mark the Queen. And believe us when we say that picking out the Queen is more exciting than ever. Even though Queen is marked, it turns out to be a Jack - and the Magician is the only one who is successful in picking out the Queen.
