The Story Behind "Hotel 1950"

During his heyday in 1950, Lucky Murphy was a professional gambler who traveled the world, fleecing suckers and operating every scam going. Throughout his journeying, this expert con artist collected hotel advertising cards to remember his ventures.

People always said he was incredibly and inexplicably lucky. That was until one fateful day when he visited a particular hotel and his luck ran out.

The Routine

You hand a spectator a small bag and then introduce a stack of hotel advertising cards. With your back turned, they look through the cards one at a time and choose one. They take it out and slip it into their pocket without anyone seeing. Inexplicably, you're able to tell them exactly what hotel they chose.

You then take this experiment further by allowing the spectator a chance to stop on another hotel. This time, they open the bag to find a hotel room key from the hotel they just selected. Lucky Murphy's cursed key!
