Frenchy shows the crowd the queen and then shuffles the cards several times across the tabletop. Frenchy is taking bets on whether anyone can pick the queen out of the three cards. Billy Joe lays $10 on the table and declares he can find the queen. Frenchy again shuffles the cards while Billy Joe watches intensely. When Frenchy finally lays the cards on the table, Billy Joe picks the card in the middle. Frenchy turns the card over to reveal the six of hearts. Frenchy takes Billy Joe's $10.
