In the Middle by Mark Mason

Description

From the creative mind of Mark Mason comes a stunning, visual, and incredibly deceptive 3-Card Monte effect that is performed entirely in the hands—without a table.

A red queen is shown face-up between two black kings. Everything looks completely fair. The cards are presented both face-up and face-down, and the queen is clearly in the middle.

Then the performance begins.

As soon as your spectator has made their choice, a quick flick of the cards is all it takes—and the Queen suddenly finds herself at the bottom of the deck. No suspicious movements, no position changes, no complicated sleight of hand. Just pure magic.

Of course, the queen returns to the middle. You show her clearly and unmistakably. But no sooner does your spectator think they’ve got it figured out than the impossible happens again: with a small flick, the queen visibly moves to the end—this time even with the cards shown face up.

But that’s not all.

The queen jumps from hand to hand and finally disappears completely. As a grand finale, you can even make her reappear in your pocket—along with the spectator’s imaginary bet.
