The Ultimate Challenge: Your Money, Their Deck, Your Guaranteed Win
Imagine this scenario: you place several bills on the table, offering a bold challenge to a spectator using *their very own* deck of cards. The rules are simple – if they cut to your 'lucky card,' they win your money. If not, you win the bet and keep your cash. They're free to shuffle, mix, and cut their deck as much as they desire, seemingly stacking the odds overwhelmingly in their favor (51 chances to win, only 1 for you). Yet, you confidently announce your lucky card (e.g., the Queen of Spades) while they're still handling their deck. With bated breath, the spectator makes their final cut, and to their utter astonishment, the card revealed is precisely your named lucky card! The impossibility of this moment will resonate long after your performance.
Unlocking Effortless Deception and Versatility
'BETS' stands out for its elegant simplicity and devastating impact. One of its greatest strengths is that it requires absolutely no complex sleight of hand, making it accessible to beginners while still fooling seasoned magicians. The routine cleverly leverages the spectator's own deck and their freedom to shuffle, making the effect feel incredibly organic and truly beyond manipulation. Furthermore, 'BETS' isn't a one-off wonder; it's designed to be repeatable countless times, allowing you to amaze different groups or even the same audience on separate occasions. Vallarino's instruction reveals multiple presentation possibilities, ranging from a direct challenge to a captivating prediction, ensuring you can tailor 'BETS' to your unique style.

Push the limits of the impossible with this extraordinary challenge!
Effect:
You place some bills/bank notes on the table and offer the spectator a challenge using HIS deck and YOUR money. The spectator is then free to mix, shuffle and cut his cards as many times as he wants.
The Challenge is very simple: If he cuts to your lucky card (which is mathematically highly unlikely), you win the bet and keep your money. If he does not cut to your lucky card, he wins the bet and takes the money. This means he has 51 chances to win and you only have one... However, you never lose!!!
You announce your lucky card (For example: the Queen of Spades). This is done while the spectator is shuffling and cutting his own deck. The spectator now officially cuts the deck for this bet, and the chosen card is set aside. When the card is turned over, it is YOUR lucky card! Impossible!
