Six envelopes, which are numbered from one to six are shown. In each envelope except one an amount of cash is placed. This can be a $20 bill, a $10 bill, a $5 bill, three $1 bills, and a $1 bill. In the sixth envelope a little note is placed which reads “TOO BAD YOU LOSE”.

A spectator is called from the audience and handed a die. He is told that he will roll the die as many times as necessary. Whatever number is rolled on the die, that envelope is opened and removed from the table. The envelope that is left will be the spectator’s. Of course the magician has COMPLETE CONTROL over this trick! The envelope that is left will have the message; “TOO BAD YOU LOSE”.

This is a great comedy effect and can be used for that ‘WISE’ kid in the audience. After telling him that he had a chance to win from one to twenty-five dollars he will go back to his seat a little more humble.

You might promise him a prize for helping you if he behaves the rest of the show.
