Hey guys.
I really love this effect, from Mathieu Bich's "Bich on PDF" notes. If you're unfamiliar, here's what the spectator sees:
Three cards are removed from the performer's pocket. There is a large hole in each of the cards: two of them have holes shaped like houses, and one has a diamond-shaped hole. The performer puts the packet into the spectator's hand, then removes the single diamond-hole card. The spectator opens her hand, expecting to find two cards with house-shaped holes, instead finding the holes have changed into diamond-shapes!
---
I'm thinking of presenting this like a monte: "I'll make it reaaaaally easy: just keep track of the giant holes in these cards." Also considering throwing in a kicker where the two cards left in hand have a different colored back, but I wonder if that might scream "SWITCH"?
Any thoughts? Does anyone else perform this? Everyone should get this set of notes, they really get your wheels turning.
