Color Monte

{SKILL LEVEL TWO - See "Skill Levels" at left}

Magician relates how he lost bet after bet with a clever gambler using three cards. Two cards with a red spot and one with a blue spot are shown. Trying to guess where the blue spot is, the magician "loses" a dollar each time (the cards change to all blue spots, change back to red spots, etc.) After seven amazing changes, the magician has "lost" $7. He puts one red spot and one blue spot card on the table and asks what color remains. No matter what is said, the last card is turned over showing $14 printed on it.
