Card Magic Trick for Kids: Simple Monte 2

By Wayne Kawamoto, About.com Guide

Here’s a great card magic trick that is easy to make and perform and it’s great for kids. It’s actually something of a baffler that leaves spectators scratching their heads. You’ll undoubtedly have fun with this one. The routine has a theme that's based on the classic street scam that's known as the three card monte. This is among the best easy magic tricks that I can recommend to a beginner or kid to learn and perform.

Effect: In this trick, you display three cards and ask the spectator to remember the middle card. After turning the cards over, you remove the middle card and lay it face down onto a table. You ask the spectator if they can recall the removed card is. And when you show it to them, it’s a different card. This is a variation on an easy card magic trick that I call the “Simple Monte.” To learn this trick, please click here. Furthermore, there's another version that's based on the monte that employs two cards that you can learn here.
