Tree Card Monte

A comical version of a classic trick. Easy to do!

Three cards are fanned and shown face up – two black tens and a three of diamonds. The three is in the middle of the tens. The cards are turned face down and mixed. The spectator is asked to select the three. Pretending not to hear the spectator well, the magician says, “Did you say ‘tree’ of diamonds?” The selected card is turned over to reveal a picture of a Tree of Diamonds!
