This is a novel Three-Card Monte, which is great for kids or adult, shows. Three large cards, each measuring 9 1/2″ X 6 3/4″, are used, nothing else. The cards are nicely silk-screened in color. Two of them show carrots with green foliage, the other one shows a picture of Willie Wabbit himself. Willie is apparently very fond of popping into the farmer’s field and stealing his carrots, and of course the farmer tries to catch him.

The children are asked to pretend they’re the farmer and see if they can catch the rabbit. The cards are mixed and fanned out. Where is the rabbit? Why, that’s easy, for his long pink ear can be seen in the middle. Cards are turned and the center card is pulled out and placed on a stand. The remaining two cards are shown and one is placed on each side of the rabbit. The magician lifts up the center card and the one on the left, saying that the audience will notice that the backs of the cards are the same. However, when he places the cards down he crosses his arms over and the card that was in the center is now over to the left. He states the rabbit card is in the middle, but the children lose no time in telling him that he really changed them over. However, when the card on the left is lifted up, it is seen to be the carrot card. The one on the right is lifted up, that is also a carrot card. The magician lifts the center card, holding it horizontally and gazing at it with disbelief. He turns the card around; it is seen to be the rabbit card.

Very easy to do!
