I have found that instead of doing a traditional 3 card monte with two of one card and a queen or something similar, you do it with blank cards that say "$" "Pay up" "Pay up". The pay up cards have an arrow which I try and keep pointed at me, that way when they see pay up it points at me to be paid. People seem to like it better then a regular 3 card monte, it provides a simple easy way to remember what they want to get and what they don't want to find. Just a little tid bit I thought I would share.

Dang, that's good! Many thanks. What a great premise if you ever work a charity gambling night.
