Here is a fun routine from Austria’s Paul Picha.
Three jumbo cards are introduced, one with a circus elephant and two which display a colored ball on each.
The elephant and one of the balls are turned with their back to the audience and the card showing the second ball is placed inside an envelope which can be shown empty. The two cards left in the hand are mixed and then a spectator gets a chance to guess which one is the elephant. No matter which card he selects, he is wrong! This can be repeated at will.
After a while both cards are turned and they both have a ball on it, the elephant has vanished!
You guessed it, the elephant will be found in the envelope.
All three cards can be shown on both sides and the envelope is empty.
A fun variation of a “Three Card Monte” in a way kids will understand and enjoy!
Quality magic from Austria! Easy to do!
You receive the color cards (approx. 7″ x 4 5/8″), durable envelope (colors vary from picture) and card stand (varies from image) with English instructions.
