Three For The Money is a brilliant take on the classic One Ahead routine, using nothing more than loose change, a folded £20 note and a glass. A spectator is brought up and shown a folded note, which is placed under a glass in full view from the very beginning. Three coins are then placed on the table, and the spectator is asked to freely remove one while the performer commits to a prediction before the choice is revealed. Things then become even more impossible as the spectator reaches into their own pocket, removes a random handful of change and counts the exact amount — which has also been predicted! Finally, attention returns to the folded £20 note that has been isolated under the glass the entire time. The spectator unfolds it and reads out the serial number, only to discover that the performer has predicted that perfectly as well. It is a clever, commercial and very entertaining routine, with a fantastic structure that builds from a simple coin prediction into an impossible serial number climax!
