hi
i've just learned the mexican turnover. can anyone suggest a trick i can do with that sleight? thanks in advance.

Note the top card of a deck and mess it around on the table. Write a prediction saying the name of the top card, then have someone slide out any card they want and turn it over Mexican.

Isn't it used in 3 card monte?

i didn't quite understand. am i supposed to turn over the spectator's card with the top card (and switch the cards) and show that their card was the one that was predicted?

It is used in 3 card monte if the spectator guesses correctly so that they never win.

Please nobody answer this. Murshid clearly doesn't know what a Mexican Turnover is - if he did, then he would not have asked this question.

Strange, really - especially considering he has 'just learnt' it.

Out of interest, Murshid, where exactly did you learn the Mexican Turnover from?

Also, can you post an introduction?

Probably from Wikipedia, as they have the 3 Card monte on it, but the explanations are more than c*** (not the best)

If you want a good 3 Card Monte that is not a DVD, buy Lee Asher's Catch 33

i learnt it from one of the bob longe books and also from the MagicDan website.

and this is just to let you know that i know what a mexican turnover is. i just didn't understand katrielalex's description of his/her trick.

by the way, do you always attack people like that? if you still want to know whether i really know about the mexican turnover (MT), just let me know. i'll send you a pm to let you know what i really know about the MT.

Just go to the Introductions forum, and tell us a bit about yourself.
