Penn and Teller have this show called Bullshit on Showtime . The episode I just watched was about death and how much people get fucked by funeral parlors .

Sooo, if your ever sight seeing in the Hollywood Hills area... try this trick !

Take the 3 of clubs out of a deck of cards and place it face down under an empty envelope without the mark noticing . You have the person select a card , where you some how manage to distract then slip the three of club card into their hand . Then tell them to keep that card and put it in an envelope . They slide it in their pocket, and you say, you'll finish the trick later.

While seeing the sights stop by the Forest Lawns Memorial Park in Burbank. Find Penn and Tellers grave , point it out to your friend and wait. The headstone says ,' Penn & Teller - Is This Your Card ?' And the card is there , and it is indeed the three of clubs .

These Guy's are FUCKING Brilliant .

Your description of how they get the person to choose the three of clubs is terribly lacking, although in your defense, it's not easy to describe without seeing the episode. Basically, use any "card force" (search on the web) to get them to choose that card.

Penn and Teller do a boatload of fantastic tricks, all with the three of clubs being the chosen card. It's a wink to their longtime fans - if you see them live or on TV, and somebody chooses the three of clubs, then the fans know the card has been forced upon the trickee.

In their video "Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends," they have a fake newscast you can watch that has the anchorwoman pulling up that card.

In their book "How to Play With Your Food," they have instructions on how you can get your local pizza place to make a pizza with a three of clubs on it.

Seek out these books and videos, people. They're unbelievable.
