I need to tell you something. Not all magicians are completely honest.
Sometimes they use their magic to trick you.
So watch out.
One Time I was walking down the road, minding my business, when a man approached me.
He asked me if I'd like to make a little money
and of course I said "yes", I do like money.
He had three cards, All I had to do, he said was to keep my eye on one of them.
He had "this" card, "this" card, and "that", put down a pound, he said, if you can find, that card, I'll give you two back.
As he said this he put 1 card on the bottom.
Easy I said, it's the bottom card.
Sorry, he said, this is "this" card.
Tell you what, why don't you have another go. You got 50.50 odds here.
:
So I did, I tried the top card.
Sorry, not this one either. why don't you have another go.
Another go?? Surely not, I can't get it wrong now.
???
but he showed me again this was still "this" card.
I asked, what happened to that card?
He said "it's on the bottom."
"Tell you what, why don't you look for this card instead, there are two of them, and you know where 'that' card is already."
I couldn't get this wrong.
"Ok the top one"
"Sorry, no that's that card. One more go"
?
"The middle then"
"Sorry no that's that card too"
At this point I said, OK, I know your cheating. You have three that cards"
He said "No, I have three "this Cards" This, THis and this.
Tell you what he said, let's get you your money back. Hows this : Double or nothing.
I have This card here, That Card Here. All you have to do is tell me what the last card is, and you get all your money back.
What do you think it is.
?
I thought this card, but he said. "You know in life, you always get a bit of this, a bit of that, but you also get a bit of the other.
And that's the story of how I lost £10
