ED MELLON'S
"SYNONYMENTAL"
 
EFFECT: Eighteen cards are shown to each bear a different word. These cards are then dealt into three separate piles. Three objects: a pencil, cigarette 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 face down card.
 
The second pile is then dealt out face down in a row and a spectator is told to make a free selection and a cigarette is placed on this second face down card.
 
The third pile is then dealt out, after being mixed by a spectator and the spectator is given a coin and told to "toss it" on any of the face down 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, each of which names the article placed on the card exactly!
 
CONDITION NOTES:  Very good condition with minimal wear
