Does anyone remember a packet trick called "The Flim Flam Man"? I remember performing this trick many times when I worked in a magic shop in the mid-70's.

The patter was about a wager involving finding a certain card. After showing every card to be wrong, the punch line was that every card turned out to be the same (correct) card.

More importantly, where can I find this trick today? I've done quite a bit of searching and it's just not showing up.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You can find it in - The Card magic book of Nick Trost.
In the 70`s it was called Flim-Flam Cards, in the book Flim-Flam.
The story is a about the "Flim-Flam Man".

Hope that help.

It does indeed. Found a reprint at The Magic Warehouse.
