Three-card Monte

Three-card Monte — also known as Find the Lady or the Three-card Trick — is a confidence game in which the victim, or mark, is tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the ''money card'' among three face-down playing cards. It is the same as the shell game except that cards are used instead of shells.〔Tom Ogden ''The Complete Idiot's Guide to Magic Tricks'', pg. 123, Alpha Books (1998) ISBN 0-02-862707-5〕
In its full form, Three-card Monte is an example of a classic "short con"〔 http://nypost.com/2014/12/26/three-card-monte-scam-artists-return-to-midtown/ New York Post, Three-card monte scam artists return to midtown, Is this Christmas 2014 — or 1974? 〕 in which a shill pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the dealer, while in fact conspiring with the dealer to cheat the mark.
This confidence trick was already in use by the turn of the 15th century.〔Paul B. Newman (''Daily life in the Middle Ages'' ), pg. 169, McFarland (2001) ISBN 0-7864-0897-9〕
==Rules==
The Three-card Monte game itself is very simple. To play, a dealer places three cards face down on a table, usually on a cardboard box which provides the ability to set up and disappear quickly.〔Richard John Neuhaus ''The best of The Public square'', pg. 203, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company (2001) ISBN 0-8028-4995-4〕 The dealer shows that one of the cards is the target card, e.g., the queen of hearts, and then rearranges the cards quickly to confuse the player about which card is which. The player is then given an opportunity to select one of the three cards. If the player correctly identifies the queen of hearts, the player gets the amount he bet (his "stake") back, plus the same amount again; otherwise, he loses his stake.
