Martin Lewis’s Big Fat Side Walk Shuffle!

Martin Lewis shares a cautionary tale about falling victim to a deceptive card trick performed by a street hustler in London. He recounts his experience with 'The Big Fat Side Walk Shuffle,' a scam where he repeatedly lost money trying to guess the location of a marked 'money card' (an ace) amongst three cards. The trick involves a clever setup with blank cards and misdirection, initially creating the illusion of randomness. The performer's unusual mixing technique and persistent encouragement to 'double or nothing' ultimately led Lewis to realize he was being conned. The final twist reveals that all three cards are aces, highlighting the performer's skill in deception. Lewis strongly advises viewers to avoid this game, emphasizing the importance of being wary of street performers and critically assessing their methods to protect themselves from potential fraud.
