This is classic Ed Mellon effect...a really great mental routine you will use often! Eighteen cards are shown to each bear a different word. These cards are then dealt into three separate piles.
Three objects: a pencil, key and a coin are then introduced. Anyone is permitted to pick up the first pile of cards, mix them, then deal them face down in a row. This spectator then selects one of the six cards and the pencil is placed on the facedown card.
The second pile is then dealt face down in a row and a spectator is told to make a free selection and a key is placed on the second facedown card.
The third pile is the dealt out, after being mixed by a spectator and the spectator is given a coin and is told to "toss it" on any of the facedown cards.
In each case and after every selection has been made, the remaining cards are shown to be different. The climax comes when the selected cards are turned over and the spectator(s) have selected the exact cards, which match the names the article place on the card exactly!
