A new take on the classic Bank Night.
Seven envelopes and a deck of cards are on the table. The magician asserts that one envelope contains a $100 bill. The game is for the spectator to find it. But the catch is that the magician will also be allowed to choose one envelope for himself. To make things fair, they will use card values to determine a random number. First, the cards are moved from top to bottom until each player stops at any card. They keep the card they stopped at. To avoid any suspicion of cheating, the spectator can exchange his card with the magician's. Then, the envelopes are dealt down. The two players keep the envelope at their number. Finally, the spectator opens his envelope from which he removes a brand new lottery scratch-off ticket! The magician opens the five remaining envelopes from which he removes other similar lottery tickets (face down). He eventually opens his envelope and wins the $100 bill! But he explains that the spectator should feel lucky for the brand new lottery ticket. Because when the other ones are turned over, we see that they are all used and losing!
Easy to do. No duplicate cards. No switch envelope. No marking.
