Magic trick, woo hoo!
So I found a nice little trick that someone put together and saw a good performance of it.
It’s a quickie one, a three card monte, and it took me about three minutes to figure it out. I also jotted down how the cards move, and I must say that it’s performed with a certain degree of elegance.
EDIT: The “three card monte” that I referred to before is actually not a magic trick, but typically refers to a con, trying to get you to find the queen, etc.
I tend to use the term loosely when referring to any magic trick with three cards.
Thanks to Paul again for his attention to detail.

Just so you know, “Three Card Monte” (to which you link on Wikipedia) is a completely different thing. This one’s based on “Color Monte” which is a commercially available magic trick rather than a con trick.
