This is gonna be a quick one. I've got a handling for Be Honest, What Is It or Two Card Monte, or whatever the kids are calling it these days. I use it when performing for couples or if someone mentions an anniversary, or pretty much any time I can steer the conversation towards marriage. I'm not claiming originality here since I just mashed two previously thought of things together, but I also haven't seen anybody else do this. Granted, I haven't looked too hard, but still.
I don't want to give away the entire trick, so I'm going to be intentionally vague. Those of you in the know should be able to fill in the blanks, those who want to be in the know can learn the trick and go from there.
You're going to be showing the two of hearts and the ace of diamonds, and changing them into the ace of clubs and the ace of spades. Set it up to your preferred handling.
The patter is as follows: "Marriage begins with two hearts in love and a diamond. As the years go on, the diamond stays strong but the love may fade, leaving you wishing for a club and a spade."
Look, I'm not saying this is gonna set the world on fire, but it's cute in a cynical way. Give it a shot, let me know how it goes over for you.
