The Devil May Cry

The Devil May Cry

Some bargains are too tempting to refuse. Others should never be accepted.

Deep within a forgotten forest, an old wanderer crosses paths with a desperate thief. His eyes seem impossibly ancient, his smile unsettling. Rather than call for help, he offers a wager.

"If fortune favors you," the old man whispers, "wealth, power, and a kingdom beyond mortal imagination shall be yours."

From within his tattered coat, he produces a single weathered card and places it face down upon the table. "It bears but one number. Find it... and the gates shall open."

The thief is handed nine blackened cards and instructed to mix them until even fate itself could not know their order. They are laid into three rows, forming three seemingly random numbers.

One by one, the numbers are revealed. They are added together......... 666, The Number of the Beast.

Silence falls.

The old man slowly reaches for the lone card that has remained untouched from the very beginning. As it turns over, the truth is finally revealed...

The old man was never a man at all. The thief has won exactly what he was promised. A kingdom beyond imagination.

A kingdom where the Devil reigns.

A one-way journey to Hell.

The Devil May Cry is a completely self-working routine that combines an effortless method with a chilling narrative, building inexorably to an unforgettable finale that leaves audiences with an uneasy feeling long after the cards have been put away.
