Peasant And The Plague

The Peasant And The Plague
A Black Death Magic Trick

The year is 1665 and the Great Plague is savaging London with people dying in their thousands. It is a dark time with Death prowling the streets, taking everyone he meets, woman, man or child.
In this strong magic trick you try to beat death in a simple  game of chance. You each get to draw a card and whoever's card is the strongest wins, nothing could be simpler. Death even gives you three chances to play, three chances to win, but you never do. At the end you have one last thread of hope when he lets you choose both your card and his, but still you lose the game and thus your life.

This is a great effect for those who like to tell a story with their magic.
Easy to perform with the specially printed cards. No sleight of hand or fancy moves.
