DESCRIPTION

Offering to simulate the world’s most lethal game of chance, Russian Roulette, the magician asks a spectator to hand him six cards from a borrowed deck. Five of these are to be black spot cards, each to represent an empty chamber in an imaginary revolver, and the sixth a red card to represent the fatal round. The packet is shuffled and the spectator asked to name a number, up to 6, to represent spinning of the cylinder each time. The magician hands the packet to the spectator and asks him to shift his chosen number of cards to the bottom and turn over the next card. If it is a black one, the magician will survive to the next round. However, if it is red, he will lose this fabricated encounter with fate. With three fingers clenched, the magician dramatically points his forefinger at his temple, dropping his thumb as the first card is revealed...it’s black. This process is repeated with the tension building until only two cards remain. Survival is now a 50/50 proposition. The spectator dramatically turns over the fifth card...it is the last black. Despite overwhelming odds, the man of mystery has prevailed and the spectator is left holding the only red card. Based upon a clever Jack Yates' method, Russian Roulette works with any cards and is easy to do. 5 pages with cover.
