The "Let's Make a Deal" Paradox

Applet schmapplet. I'm willing to make you a deal right now.

You put down $100, and I'll put down $500.

I'll lay out 52 cards, face-down, and I'll look at them while I lay them down. You have to pick the 3 of clubs. You pick your first card, but don't turn it over. I'll take away 50 other cards and show them to prove that they aren't the 3 of clubs. Now if you have the 3 of clubs, you win the pot, while if I have the 3 of clubs, I win the pot.

Agreed?
