Monte with matches
A trick that rivals the famous „Three Card Monte“ may be performed with match-boxes.
Effet: Three boxes are used one of wich contains matches. The magician mixes them around on the table and asks someone to pick up the full box. Somehow or other the spectator always gets an empty box.
Method: This is dues to an application of the method used in the preceding trick. A full box, held in place, up the magician’s sleeve by a rubber band, makes one of the empty boxes appear to be full when he magician shakes it. The spectator follow the box in which they hear the matches rattle. The trick can be worked with three empty boxes, but the audience supposes one is full, and the magician keeps up the delusion by occasionally shaking a box.
