ok this is very rare but im in need of some help. i'm lookin for this trick, its called 357 and its a kind of russian roulette trick without a gun, it uses cards in envelopes - http://themagicwarehouse.com/cgi-bin/findit.pl?x_item=DA2431
"A participant is invited to examine six cards, each one has the word 'Click' on one side and 'Bang' on the other. Six regular envelopes are examined and any card is placed into any envelope as the performer explains that each card represents a bullet and each envelope is the chamber of a gun. Turning away the performer instructs them to place one card showing the 'Bang' and the others showing a 'Click' into each envelope. All are mixed up as the performer turns back and attempts to divine which envelope contains the 'Bang' card.
Using suggestion, precognition and persuasion the performer puts money on the table and states that if he makes a mistake he'll lose the cash. Maybe not as life threatening as a live bullet but none the less painful in it's own way. Each envelope is eliminated one by one, more and more cash is placed on the table until just one remains. Despite the real test conditions you will succeed every time. No marks, peeks, impressions, forces, electronics, duel reality, equivoque or pateo."
it also says they are able to use their own envelopes, so i would guess that means there is no marked envelopes of any kind and no specially gimmicked envelopes.
the only thing i can think it would b is somethin to distinguish each card when its in the envelope but then if its obvious enough the spec would surely notice them when out side the envelopes.
really has me stumped to be honest, i'm prob not thinkin enough into it
but it sounds liek somehtin i could add to my act
