The Farmer’s Daughter

This is basically a packet card trick without playing cards. The audience see three cards each with a sketch on: the farmer, his daughter and a salesman. The daughter is put into the envelope representing her room. When the saleman looks inside to find her, she is not there. All he finds is a card that says “If you expected to find something you are stuck! I jumped out of the window. Love, Matilda.”
