A pseudo-gambling effect wherein four red and one black card are shown, turned face-down, shuffled, and eliminated one-at-a-time by the "Mark" who thinks he can win big by leaving the Black card in the gambler's hand. Even after all four red cards are selected and shown, the "Mark" Loses when the final card is turned over and shown to also be Red! The Black card is gone!

Equipment:

FOUR normal RED cards
ONE matching normal 5 of SPADES
ONE SPECIAL CARD- a 5 of hearts with one index corner printed as a matching 5 of SPADES
