this is a scam that is done all around
London I first saw this a few years ago
when me my friend Dave were visiting it
happens on this very bridge today I'm
gonna show you how it works all right
this is the scam
I don't sure if any of you recognize
this yet with the three cards anyone
seen anything like this before no okay
this will be a good lesson then here's
what happens right
here's what we saw here's what me and my
friend Dave saw we saw a guy the dealer
go keep your eyes on the Queen the queen
is the money card remember the Joker's
don't pay but if you keep your eyes on
the Queen it could be a lucky day he
mixed up the cards we saw a guy reach
into his wallet take out about 20 pounds
and slam it down on the card on the left
which was kind of a shame because the
guy lost 20 pounds we watched the same
thing happen again right watch real
close we saw the cards get mixed up he
said keep your eyes on the Queen
that's the money card remember the
Joker's don't pay we saw someone slammed
20 pounds down on the car on the right
and he lost again
right at this point my friend Dave is
like this looks like a pretty winnable
game maybe I should give it a go so
would you mind could you fill in for my
friend Dave what's your name sorry sorry
what's your name
what's your name Dave Dave you can steal
you all that's fantastic Dave this is
the money card all right so my friend
Dave decided to put 20 quid on this game
keep your eyes on the Queen remember the
Joker's they don't pay but if you keep
your eyes on the Queen Dave it might be
a lucky day so nice and easy to start
with where'd you think my friend Dave
bet which card in the middle that's
exactly what he did he put 20 pounds
down the middle and he lost 20 pounds
it's unfortunate but don't worry the
dealer was feeling generous he decided
that you could play again but he would
make it a little bit easier so my friend
Dave got out another 20 pounds remember
guys the aim of the game is to keep your
eyes on the Queen remember the Queen and
remember that the Joker's don't pay but
if you keep your eyes on the Queen I'll
be your lucky date just two cards for
you there sir but a bada bada badda
bodda where'd you think my friend bet
bet which one well what'd you think my
friend dave did this one right here
that's what my friend Dave did he was
absolutely wrong but you you can realize
this by now it's actually a scam that
you can't win and over here was the
correct choice but here's the thing this
is a scam right if you ever see people
playing this game do not play it you
can't win because it doesn't matter how
much you're watching the Queen it
doesn't matter if you're paying
attention really close or if you're
paying attention to the Joker's because
no matter which card you choose you're
gonna lose every single time all right
but we didn't know this at the time so
we just my friend Dave just kept
chucking money after money after money
he lost 100 pounds playing this and then
he for gonna call it a day I'm gonna
leave but just to that moment
really interesting happens somebody on
this side tapped the dealer on the
shoulder nice and the dealer turned
around and at that moment somebody
looked a bit like you there buddy
reached forward grab the Queen and gave
it just like a little bit of a bend like
that right now I've done a bit of an
exaggeration so that you guys can see at
the back it was a little bit of a
smaller bend but enough that if you were
paying attention you could keep track of
that card right so now it meant that
this guy over here he followed the Queen
and he put down a hundred pounds right
where I mean obviously here right and he
won 100 pounds a you're a winner and the
guy made a hundred pounds the same thing
happened again with this woman over here
she went forward and she bet on the card
obviously she bet on the bent corner and
she won a hundred pounds so things were
looking a little bit different so then
dave was like I've already lost one
hundred and hundred pounds so now you
can play one more time so Dave took out
his wallet
got all the money he had and decided to
play one more time here's what happened
ready remember the aim of the game is to
keep your eyes on the Queen
remember the Joker's they don't pay but
if you keep your eyes on the Queen it'll
be your lucky day so Dave where'd you
think my friend bet kind of obvious
right in the middle on the bank card and
he lost another hundred pounds right
there because it's a scam the one thing
you need to know about this game the one
thing you need to know because a lot of
people think if it's a scam how come the
woman over there in the man over there
how come they want some money right if
it's a scam how can that happen because
people do win money on this game and the
way it happens is pretty simple right
those people are in on the scam so they
play the game they win to make you think
that the game is winnable but in reality
the dealer can control the outcome so
you say you're in on it doesn't matter
if you're keeping track I'll make you
choose the Queen which car do you think
the Queen is this one this one here and
yet you are absolutely correct
as I say you cannot win this game at all
unless of course you're friends with the
dealer that's the three-card Monte scam
thank you very much
thank you that was
