Chapter 98: You Lived First

"Guess three" is the same as "gold inlaid jade".

It's a classic scam that has been popular for many years.

And in terms of the number of people who have been deceived, the former is even more, and it is conservatively estimated that the number of people who have been deceived over the years has exceeded 10 million.

Even today, there are still many people who have been deceived and therefore come up.

Some people are in a hurry to lose, and they will even borrow money from friends and family to continue playing.

There are many variations of the "guess three" scam, but they are all essentially thousands.

If the participants can't see the other party's tricks, then this is a game that seems to be beneficial to them, but in fact has no chance of winning.

Some people do this with the help of prop cards.

Some are thousands of them by virtue of pure techniques.

For example, the person who deals the cards does not turn over the three cards on the table and show them to the crowd.

Instead, fold the three cards neatly and hold them in your left hand.

The way to hold a card is to place your thumb straight on the left side of the card, your index finger on top of the card, and the other three fingers on the right side of the card.

When showing to everyone, the thumb will be slightly pressed, and then the two cards will be pointed out with the little thumb, and then turned over with the right hand.

This shows the first card on the surface, but in fact two cards are turned over at once, which means that the card shown is the second card.

And Zhou Nan has already seen that this young man is using another way of going out of the thousands, which is also a pure method.

The top of the three cards, which the young man grasps with the thumb and middle finger of his right hand.

The bottom two cards are drawn with the thumb and ring finger on the right side of the upper and lower sides of the playing card.

When the first card is thrown, the young man releases his ring finger and is dealt the lowest card.

And when the second one is issued, it is the middle finger that is released.

So it's actually the top card that is thrown.

Pure techniques like this require a lot of proficiency and speed from the user, otherwise it will be obvious.

On the contrary, the more natural the whole technique, the more it can prove that this person has a thousand skills.

Therefore, Zhou Nan also saw that the other party should have put a lot of effort into this area, and he is a veteran.

Now.

When the ace of spades in the middle is turned over.

Immediately, there was a burst of discussion at the scene.

"What's going on, I just saw that the card on the side is the Ace of spades, how can this be!"

"Me too! Could it be that I'm presbyopia! ”

"Strange, so weird! That guy didn't change cards very quickly, and I was wrong! ”

“.”

At first, the aunts and uncles thought they were wrong.

But after hearing that the people around them had guessed wrong, they became suspicious.

Because even if you read it wrong, then not everyone will be wrong!

Then they began to rejoice that they had not participated in the event just now, otherwise they would have lost fifty dollars.

Luckily, a gust of wind blew the middle card open!

Luck is great!

At this time.

A trace of doubt flashed in the young man's eyes, and then he stared at Zhou Nan.

As Zhou Nan guessed, he is a veteran.

At first, the young man was learning magic, but during a performance to break free, something went wrong with the prop glass cabinet and a screw got stuck.

It took him more than a minute or two longer than expected to break free, and it took him more than thirty seconds for the water to fill the glass cabinet, and his companions were ready to smash the tank.

That is, from this time.

The young man felt that this profession was really stupid, and he couldn't make much money from exhausting work, so he chose to change careers.

Just some time ago, he also formed a game, found four accomplices, and won more than 100,000 in a small casino.

However, this kind of game is formed once every six months at most, and after winning, it is estimated that they have already been noticed, and those casinos will also share the list with each other.

After a period of rest.

The young man's money was also spent.

In preparation for a rainy day, he found someone to make some extra money through this street scam.

The young man pondered for a while, but he didn't have a definite answer in his mind.

Just now, his attention was all on the money that Zhou Nan put on the table.

So the young man couldn't be sure that the wind blowing over this card was the only one close to these cards Zhou Nan took the initiative.

After seeing Zhou Nan's blank expression, the young man was more inclined to the former at the moment.

After all, to complete the operation of turning over a card, the magnitude of the action is definitely not small.

Even if his attention is not on the card in the middle, he can detect that something is wrong even with his peripheral vision.

But just now, he didn't notice the whole process until he saw the middle card turned upside down.

After such a play, the onlookers at the scene definitely didn't dare to play, and the foreplay they did was in vain.

So this time, not only did he not cheat a dime, but he even lost the group performance fee he requested, as well as the oil and rice that Zhou Nan won in the first game.

Thinking of this, a wave of anger rose from the young man's heart.

He pointed at Zhou Nan and said, "Handsome guy, what do you say about this!" ”

"Can't you put money in a small way, and you have to shoot it, and you blow the cards next to you!"

Zhou Nan looked innocent: "I didn't expect this, and part of it was because of you, you put the three cards too close." ”

The young man was speechless for a moment.

Even at one point, he actually felt that this statement made a lot of sense.

He glanced at the table, and although the three cards were slightly bent inward, they were not easily blown over, but they were indeed closer.

The young man silently noted this in his mind and decided to improve it next time.

But he wants to stop the loss now, since it is difficult to cheat money from those uncles and aunts, he must not let go of the person in front of him.

The young man said, "You knocked over the cards anyway, you have to admit that, right?" ”

"In addition to the fifty dollars you have to give me, you have to pay some money."

Zhou Nan actually wanted to give him some money when he heard this, after all, the police were almost there.

When the time comes, their money will soon be back in their hands, and the two scammers may be detained.

But to do that, it's a bit strange from a behavioral point of view.

After all, a normal person, where he hears the other party's mouth, he will follow the other party's will and willingly pay for it.

Zhou Nan said: "I can give you this fifty yuan, because I did guess wrong." ”

"But losing money is a bit unreasonable."

"It's a big deal, I'll play two more games with you."

When the young man heard this, he thought it was okay and was about to agree.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Didn't the person in front of you guess wrong?

People who are more shrewd and cautious will not choose to continue playing so happily, right?

Although it is not excluded that the other party is a rich man, he doesn't care about the fifty or a hundred, or he is just a person who has no heart.

But because of the accident that just happened, it still made the young man suspicious.

He began to wonder if the man in front of him had seen his tricks.

After thinking about it for a moment.

In order to seek stability, he said: "Handsome guy, why don't we change the way we play." ”

"This may be too difficult for you guys, I just changed a little bit faster, and some of you guessed wrong."

Zhou Nan pretended to think for a while when he heard this, and then said, "You talk about it first, let me think about it." ”

When the young man saw that there was a play, he was happy.

Picking up the deck of poker on the table showed a wave of fancy shuffling, the left hand holding the card pressed and flicked, and the playing cards flew from the left hand to the right hand, crackling.

Then the young man said, "Originally, I was here to give benefits today, so why don't you play like this." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll turn my back and let my friend pick one of them, and then put the cards back in and shuffle them again."

"Then let me guess what card it is."

"If I guess that card, I win, and if I guess any card other than that, I lose."

Although Zhou Nan thinks it doesn't matter what, he still has to act.

So he immediately objected: "No, what should you do if your friend is trusting, don't think I haven't seen this kind of magic." ”

"I must be asked to draw and shuffle the cards, if you don't believe me, then I will show these aunts and uncles what kind of cards this is."

"And I'm going to check this deck again."

"Some of the cards have a specific pattern on the back, and I'm afraid you'll fake it."

"That's the only way it's fair."

The young man's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it, and he readily agreed: "Haha, of course you can, the handsome guy is also very thoughtful." ”

"In the cases you just mentioned, there are some magicians who actually use it when performing similar magic tricks."

"But I'm not a magician, and to prove that I'm really guessing by luck, I've agreed to your offer."

"Or if you have any concerns, just mention it."

Then the young man handed the whole deck of cards to Zhou Nan for him to check.

After Zhou Nan picked up this deck of cards, he seemed to be carelessly handing out the cards from his left hand to his right hand one by one.

There are only a few routines like this to guess cards.

If you don't find a support, then there is a high probability that there is a problem with the card, and it is a prop card.

But in the process of Zhou Nan's inspection one by one, he found that these cards were quite normal.

This made him feel a little strange.

Don't look for support, don't use prop cards, isn't this person a legendary, with a bit of metaphysics psychology card guessing master?

Because of the "old thousand".

Zhou Nan knew that there was such a school, and those who were beginners could get more information through some of the opponent's habitual small movements, as well as subtle expressions and movements, and even wear the opponent's hand.

For example, after a person gets a big card, although he will hide his facial expressions, he will not show his joy and anger on his face.

But they may subconsciously shake their legs, or adjust the distance between their body and the table slightly, and they can capture this kind of information.

But learning these things not only requires years of accumulation, but also extraordinary talent, so the young man in front of him doesn't look like this kind of mental flow card master.

And even if you use this method, it is impossible to guess the cards 100%, so it should not be this routine.

Just when Zhou Nan was thinking about whether there was any other possibility.

He suddenly noticed a pattern on the back of a card that was slightly different from the other cards from a certain angle, and that some of the cards in the deck were normal.

It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

So this person still wants to cheat and wants to live the whole life for himself.

After Zhou Nan saw through the other party's routine, he naturally didn't panic: "Okay, I don't have any problems." ”

"Then I'll start picking cards now."

The young man interrupted, "Handsome man, I haven't said what prize you want." ”

Zhou Nan was full of confidence: "Originally, you were here to deliver benefits today." ”

"If you don't guess right, just give all the ten bags of rice and oil you have left to these uncles and aunts, and don't grind."

The young man was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to think about it for a while, and then said, "Okay, then it's still calculated according to the previous one, you can take five hundred yuan from me." ”

"Maybe I'm lucky, and I guess it with a 1 in 54 chance."

Zhou Nan nodded and took five hundred yuan out very happily to participate in the so-called "welfare" activity.

Then he held the whole deck of cards in his left hand, drew one from the middle with his right hand, showed the ace of hearts to the aunts and uncles, and then inserted the card back again.

The cards are then split into two parts, and the two hands rest on the table, seemingly slightly cross-shuffled.

After washing it a few times.

Zhou Nan handed the card to the young man.

After the young man took the card, the last trace of concern in his heart was gone, and he secretly laughed at Zhou Nan.

Because even if there was a small accident before, it was because the other party knew some street tricks, or knew some tricks.

But this deck of cards is in his hand.

What if it's the king of heaven on the other side?

He doesn't win if he finds the cards.

Nearly half of this deck of cards is a special card with a mark on the back, not because there is an obvious problem with the pattern, but because there are subtle differences in the depth of the color in some parts of the pattern.

After training, young men can tell what the marked card is through this subtle difference.

Although Zhou Nan drew a normal card.

The young man couldn't directly tell what the card was from the back, but when Zhou Nan pushed the deck of cards out with his thumb and inserted the cards back.

He saw Zhou Nan put the card on a marker.

Through the revealed part of the pattern, the young man saw that the number plate was a plum Q.

At the time of Zhou Nan's shuffle.

The young man also kept staring, and the two cards were not shuffled, always together.

In other words, as long as you find the queen of clubs, the game is over.

The young man now pretended to pray into the air, and then spread out the whole deck of cards on the table.

He quickly found the queen.

It was also determined that the card next to the quincunx Q was the card he was looking for.

However, the young man naturally wanted to put on a show, so he first picked up a random card, hesitated for a long time and seemed to think it was inappropriate, and then put it down.

After repeating this operation two or three times.

The young man grabbed the card that he had chosen a long time ago: "Forget it, I won't ink anymore, anyway, it's to give everyone benefits, so I'll choose this one!" ”

However.

The reaction on the scene was completely beyond his expectations.

The aunts and uncles actually let out a cheerful laugh.

"Hahaha, I guessed wrong!"

"I thought this person was a liar, but it turned out that he really came to send warmth."

"Thanks to that young man, if he hadn't suggested it, we wouldn't have gotten this rice and oil!"

“.”

The young man's face turned red when he heard this, and he held up the card in his hand and shouted, "Isn't this card?!" ”

"Don't gang up and lie to me!"

"Why not this King of diamonds!"

The uncles and aunts felt a little puzzled when they heard this, and even began to doubt the mental state of the person in front of them.

Isn't there a better chance of guessing wrong?

Still unconvinced, the young man found the T in the crowd: "Tell me if that card is a King of diamonds." ”

Then the aunt also shook her head: "No. It's the ace of hearts. ”

The young man heard a loud bang, and then he quickly sensed that something was wrong with his memory!

He just spread out the cards and didn't seem to see this card!!

The young man immediately spread the cards again and found that one card was missing!

In other words, I have been being played like a fool just now!
