Larson and Wright Suitability 3 cards dealt using the Seven Queens stack

Magician shuffles (false) the deck of cards and then has a spectator cut the deck several times and deal three cards in a row to three other spectators.

The magician says: "look at your cards and concentrate and I will try to read your thoughts. I'm getting pretty good info about the value of your cards but I'm having trouble with your suits so just please tell me the name of your suits".

After the three spectators verbally tell their suit, the magician secretly looks at the below cheat sheet to know exactly which cards they are holding.

If the cheat sheet row has the word "dup" then the magician will have to do one equivoque/phish statement to the second spectator that has a card example the suit pattern is "csh" then magician says: "I'm getting either a 3 or a Jack of spades, your card isn't a 3 is it"?

If they reply "yes it is" then the magician says "I thought so".
If they reply "no it isn't" then the magician says "I thought it wasn't".

Either way the magician looks good and the magician now knows what the other two cards are from the correct cheat sheet row.

Seven Queens 3 card Suitability Cheat Sheet:

CCH=QC 8C KH
CCS=9C AC 3S
CDD=10C 9D AD

CDH dup1=6C 5D JH
CDH dup1=JC 2D 4H

CDS=3C 6D 5S

CHC=KC 10H 9C
CHH=7C QH 8H
CHS=8C KH 10S

CSC=2C 4S 7C
CSD=4C 7S QD

CSH dup2=AC 3S 6H
CSH dup2=5C JS 2H

DCC=7D QC 8C
DCD=KD 10C 9D
DCH=8D KC 10H

DDC=QD 8D KC
DDH=9D AD 3H

DHC dup3=AD 3H 6C
DHC dup3=5D JH 2C

DHD=2D 4H 7D
DHS=4D 7H QS

DSC dup4=6D 5S JC
DSC dup4=JD 2S 4C

DSH=3D 6S 5H
DSS=10D 9S AS

HCC=10H 9C AC
HCD=3H 6C 5D

HCS dup5=6H 5C JS
HCS dup5=JH 2C 4S

HDC=4H 7D QC
HDH=2H 4D 7H

HDS dup6=AH 3D 6S
HDS dup6=5H JD 2S

HHD=9H AH 3D
HHS=QH 8H KS

HSD=8H KS 10D
HSH=KH 10S 9H
HSS=7H QS 8S

SCD dup7=AS 3C 6D
SCD dup7=5S JC 2D

SCH=4S 7C QH
SCS=2S 4C 7S

SDC=8S KD 10C
SDD=7S QD 8D
SDS=KS 10D 9S

SHC=3S 6H 5C

SHD dup8=JS 2H 4D
SHD dup8=6S 5H JD

SHH=10S 9H AH
SSC=9S AS 3C
SSD=QS 8S KD

Note that If a "dup" situation occurs the magician could pick anyone of the three spectators to do the equivoque/phish statement, but I like to use the second spectator because it looks a little more random than using the first spectator.
---------------------
Note that there are 8 situations where there are duplicate patterns which means 16 cards are involved in those situations, however 36 other situations do not have duplicates therefore only about one third of the performances will require the one equivoque statement.

It's spelled Larsen not Larson (speech to text did it and I didn't catch it until just now).
