Another phoenix favourite LIECHTENSTEIN?
As this site is strictly off limits I will also leave the final one for UP to sweep up with.
Cue amusing jpeg...

afraid not Kai. there is a little bit of a clue in the question: we still call it by the old french name, well, an English version of it.
it is a word which we all know but i for one have never seen what is undoubtedly a beautiful beast

Sounds like something to do with cards...
Is it different ways of cheating people when dealing cards?
p.s. nice Q YoungKai, but since when was Sicily a country?

a very true point CR. as i will freely confess my knowledge of geography is terrible and, after a brief look into the depths of t'internet you are quite right and i was quite wrong. i shall have to go and castigate my stepmother for initally asking an inaccurate question.
by the by, they are indeed all methods of manipulating cards performed by magicians. the buck is to you CR!
