THREE BURNT MATCHES
BET: Win whatever you are playing for with only three burnt
matches.
This is a great betcha to use on the heels of a bet that you may
have just lost. This ploy will guarantee that you walk away a winner.
Explain to your victim that you are about to ask him three simple
questions. Tell him that if he does not answer the three questions
correctly, he owes you a dollar, or whatever the amount of the bet.
Further explain that you are going to tell him the answer to the
three questions before you ask them. Take out a pack of matches
and remove three of them. Tell the spectator that the matches will
represent the three questions that you are about to ask.
Light the three matches and blow them out. Tell the audience
that the answer to the three questions is “three burnt matches.”
Remind the spectator that should he respond with any other answer, he automatically loses. This sounds fair and intriguing to the
audience. Usually he will accept the bet simply out of curiosity. If,
however, he shows any sign of refusal to the bet, you must insist
on the matter. Explain that you should at least be given a chance
to recoup your loss.
