Coin of the Realm

“This is the story of four young English women who were seeking theirsoul mates during the early part of the 20th century. They were fortunate.They had access to a wise old gypsy woman, who promised to help themin their search for love. The price? A mere coin of the realm, for one couldalways get what they wanted, as long as they had a coin of the realm.” This is really an Ace Assembly with no aces and a purpose. Themechanics are familiar (to a large extent) to any ace assembly routine;however, instead of playing cards, cards depicting young men andwomen of the early 20th century, along with special cards that appearwhere the assembled aces would normally collect, make for anentertaining and ultimately frightening story. Each young girl pays a coin of her realm for advice from an old gypsywoman concerning which of her suitors she should choose, but instead ofanswers, each of the young women disappears!When the true identity of the gypsy woman is revealed, so, too, does therequired coin
