This is an mechanical version of the classic "Find the Lady" effect, originally performed with years of practice using sleights, as a betting game. This version uses Giant cards (18" x 12"), thereby implying to the audience that no sleights are involved. It also makes the item suitable for stage or platform use. Effect : Performer shows three cards, say two black Kings and one red Queen. Cards are turned back towards audience, and mixed, and a spectator invited to find the queen. No matter which card he selects, he always gets one of the black kings, and one of the other two cards proves to be the queen. The apparatus we supply for this item comprises of three special Giant cards, which are automatic in working, leaving you very little to do except concentrate on the presentation. You can show any card to be a king or queen, as you wish. In performance it is best if the cards are rested upright against some support. Three straight back chairs about two feet apart would be ideal, with the cards resting against the backs, as illustrated. You can also modify the routine from the original Find the Queen effect. For example, after the spectator has repeatedly failed to find the queen, you offer him an easier proposition, - to find one of the two black kings, which will double his chances. But now he only finds the queen, and cannot find either of the two kings. Another variation could be to have all the cards turn to kings for the climax. Or make a magic pass over the cards, and permit the spectator to finally find the queen. Then you turn around the other two cards to show they are also queens, and the reason the spectator could find the queen was because you magically transformed all the cards to queens. The cards are made of ABS Plastic sheet, and will outlast board models many times over. Supplied complete and ready to use with instructions
