The TOP prizes are on red cards and the worst prizes are on blue cards. The top prize is £100 cash!

The spectator mixes the envelopes and freely chooses any 5

They then randomly pick one of the 5, eliminating the other 4

You then show what they could have won had they chosen differently.

Even though they had a free choice throughout the routine you show that inside the envelope they selected is printed “You will choose”.

Now here is the first kicker……. All the rejected prizes are shown to have the word “REJECTED” printed on them. The chosen “You will choose” card is turned over revealing what they won.

“A lemon!!”    then as the final kicker you produce a real lemon from the envelope!
