Turn your monopoly game into a killer mental magic effect!
An envelope marked BANKER is placed in the middle of the game The community chest cards and chance cards are all fairly mixed A spectator chooses any token suppose it is the hat then any row on the game board. No forces No magician’s choice You write down the name of all 11 potential spots on half index cards and mix em up. The spectator then freely chooses some houses. The free number of houses is used to remove some of the 11. Suppose she wants 5 houses, she removes 5 locations and verifies you have 6. The number 5 is then used to choose a mystery location with the cards you have left. If she chose 4, you’d use 7. No more, no less. This selection is placed aside. Before she does this, you write down a prediction and put it inside the envelope. She is then given 6 dice to roll, count up and hide in an opaque container. Suppose she rolled a 24. You then shake it a couple times and verify the totals are not the same. Before she moves her piece around the board, you go through the property cards and then decide to remove a property (or write down a prediction) and put it in the envelope. The person then moves her number let’s everyone know outloud where she landed in this case Illinois Ave. She then moves around the number you "rolled". Now, it is finally time to empty out the envelope! Inside is $200 Why? She passed go! Inside is a yellow card, it is kept facedown. It is the perfect card match for location chosen from the eleven possibilities determined by the number of houses she wanted. Inside is the property card matching where she stopped on her roll. Illinois Ave Finally, a note from the banker addressed to the HAT stating I owe you $20 more. She turns over the community chest card that states INCOME TAX REFUND collect $20 she drew while moving her piece across the board! You can find monopoly in most thrift stores and pick up the extra props for less than $5. This will be sent electronically to you upon proof of a $20 donation to the Colombinis to mrcardmagic@hotmail.com Thanks in advance for supporting this cause |

The effect has been revised and is more direct and concise.
The community chest cards and chance cards are all fairly mixed A spectator chooses any token (suppose it is the hat). No forces No magician’s choice A total free choice from 8 She is then given 6 dice to roll, count up and hide in an opaque container. Suppose she rolled a 24. You then shake it a couple times and verify the totals are not the same. Before she moves her piece around the board, you go through the property cards and then decide to remove a property (or write down a prediction) and put it in the envelope. The person then moves her number and places a HOTEL on it , in this case ...llinois Ave. She then moves around the number you "rolled". Now, after talking and demonstrating about how fair everything was, it is finally time to empty out the envelope! Inside is $220 paperclipped together...Fine, she passed go, but why the extra $20? Inside is the property card matching where she stopped on her roll. Illinois Ave She turns over the community chest card that states INCOME TAX REFUND collect $20 she drew while moving her piece across the board! But wait....on the back of the $20 is a message Thank you for choosing the hat! |
