Three Card Monte Scam in London | Steven Bridges - YouTube
Channel: StevenBridges
[1]
- This is a scam based
on all around London.
[2]
I first saw this a few years ago
[4]
when me and my friend,
Dave were visiting
[5]
the half of London
on this very bridge.
[6]
Today, I'm going to
show you how it works.
[7]
Alright, this is the scam.
[9]
I'm not sure if any of
you recognise this yet
[10]
with the three cards.
[11]
Anyone seen anything
like this before?
[12]
No, okay, this will
be a good lesson then.
[13]
Here's what happens, alright.
[15]
Here's what we saw, here's
what me and my friend Dave saw.
[16]
We saw a guy, the dealer go,
"Keep your eyes on the queen.
[19]
"The queen is the money card.
[21]
"Remember, the jokers don't
pay, but if you keep your eyes
[23]
"on the queen, it could
be your lucky day."
[25]
He mixed up the cards.
[26]
We saw the guy reach
into his wallet,
[28]
take out about 20 pounds,
[29]
and slam it down on
the card on the left,
[32]
which was kind of a shame
because the guy lost 20 pounds.
[35]
We watched the same thing
happen again, right.
[37]
Watch real close.
[38]
We saw the cards get mixed up.
[39]
He said, "Keep your
eyes on the queen.
[40]
"That's the money card.
[41]
"Remember the jokers don't pay."
[43]
We saw someone slam 20 pounds
down on the card on the right,
[45]
and he lost again, right.
[47]
At this point, my
friend Dave is like,
[49]
"This looks like a
pretty winnable game."
[50]
Dave actually gave it a go.
[51]
Sir, would you mind, can you
fill in for my friend, Dave?
[53]
What's your name, sorry?
[55]
Sorry, what's your name?
[56]
What was your name?
[57]
Dave, thank you, Dave.
[59]
Alright, Dave, you can
stay where you are.
[60]
That's fantastic.
[61]
Dave, this is the
money card, alright.
[63]
So, my friend Dave decides
to put 20 quit on this game.
[64]
Keep your eyes on the queen.
[66]
Remember the jokers,
they don't pay,
[69]
but if you keep your
eyes on the queen, Dave,
[71]
it might be your lucky day.
[72]
So, nice, easy to
start with way.
[74]
Do you think my friend
Dave bet which card?
[76]
In the middle, that's
exactly what he did.
[77]
He put 20 pounds down in the
middle, and he lost 20 pounds.
[79]
It's unfortunate,
but don't worry.
[81]
The dealer was feeling generous.
[82]
He decided that
you can play again,
[83]
but even make it a
little bit easier.
[85]
So, my friend Dave got
out another 20 pound.
[86]
Remember the guys, the aim of
the game is to keep your eyes
[88]
on the queen.
[90]
Remember the queen and remember
that the jokers don't pay,
[92]
but if you keep your
eyes on the queen,
[93]
it'll be your lucky day.
[94]
Just Tim Cosby, that's a
bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah.
[97]
What do you think my friend bet?
[98]
Which one?
[100]
Well, what do you think
my friend Dave did?
[102]
This one right here?
[103]
That's what my friend Dave did,
and he was absolutely wrong,
[104]
but you can realise this by now,
[106]
it's actually a scam
that you can't win.
[107]
And, over here, was
the correct choice.
[109]
But, here's the thing.
[111]
This is a scam, right.
[112]
If you ever see people playing
this game, do not play.
[113]
You can't win because
it doesn't matter
[115]
how much you're
watching the queen.
[117]
It doesn't matter if you're
paying attention really close
[118]
or if you're paying
attention to the joker
[120]
because no matter
which card you choose,
[121]
you're gonna lose every
single time, alright.
[124]
But, we didn't know this
at the time, so we just,
[126]
my friend Dave just kept jumping
[127]
money after money after money.
[129]
He lost a hundred
pounds playing this,
[130]
and then he thought,
"I'm gonna call it a day.
[131]
"I'm gonna leave," but
just at that moment,
[133]
something really
interesting happened.
[135]
Somebody on this side tapped
the dealer on the shoulder...
[140]
Nice.
(laughing)
[141]
And, the dealer turned around.
[142]
And, at that moment,
somebody looked at him
[143]
like you there, buddy,
reached forward,
[145]
grabbed the queen, and gave
it just like a little bit
[147]
of a bend like that, right.
[148]
Now, I've done a bit
of an exaggeration
[149]
so that you guys
can see the back.
[151]
It was another, it was
smaller than, but enough
[152]
that if you were
paying attention,
[154]
you can keep track
of that card, right.
[155]
So, now, it meant that
this guy over here,
[157]
he followed the queen, and
he put down a hundred pounds
[160]
right where, I mean
obviously here, right,
[161]
and he won a hundred pounds.
[162]
Hey, you're a winner.
[163]
The guy made a hundred pounds.
[165]
The same thing happened again
with this woman over here.
[166]
She went forward, and
she bet on the card.
[168]
Obviously, she bet
on the bent corner,
[169]
and she won a hundred pounds.
[171]
So, things were looking
a little bit different,
[172]
so then, Dave was like,
[173]
"I've already lost
a hundred pounds."
[175]
So, now, you're gonna
play one more time.
[176]
So, Dave took out his wallet,
got all the money he had,
[179]
and decided to
play one more time.
[180]
Here's what happened, ready?
[181]
Remember the aim of the
game is to keep your eyes
[183]
on the queen.
[184]
Remember the jokers,
they don't pay,
[187]
but if you keep your
eyes on the queen,
[188]
it'll be your lucky day.
[189]
So, Dave, where do you
think my friend bet?
[191]
It's kind of obvious.
[192]
Right in the middle
on the bent card,
[194]
and he lost another
hundred pounds right there
[195]
'cause it's a scam.
(laughing)
[196]
The one thing you need
to know about this game,
[198]
the one thing you need to know
'cause a lot of people think,
[200]
"If it's a scam, how
come the woman over there
[202]
"and the man over there, how
come they won some money?"
[203]
Right, if it's a scam,
how can that happen?
[205]
Because people do win
money in this game.
[207]
And, the way it happens
is pretty simple, right.
[209]
Those people are in on the scam.
[211]
So, they play the
game and they win
[212]
to make you think that
the game is winnable,
[214]
but in reality, the
dealer can control, yeah.
[216]
So, you sir, you're in on it.
[217]
It doesn't matter if
you're keeping track.
[218]
I'll make you choose the queen.
[220]
Which card do you
think the queen is?
[222]
This one, this one here?
[224]
And, yet, you're
absolutely correct.
[225]
As I say, you cannot
win this game at all
[228]
unless, of course, you're
friends with the dealer.
[231]
(laughing)
[232]
That's a free multi-scam,
thank you very much.
[236]
Thank you.
[238]
