I did not buy it, I learnt it with plain old cards a while back. Personally I dont like it. I dont think its hits that hard, I dont like long effects that dont change aroudn a lot and dont find it gets that great reactions. Ppl say this is the best bang for your buck on penguin, but if you buy card wallets, http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=447 , you get Ultimate Three card Monte, just a cheap verison. id say thats the best bang for your buck if your looking at nice magic for really cheap.

The Color Monte is probably my favorite trick. The moves are easy to learn and the spectators always love it, believe me. Also it is only 4 bucks, you cant go wrong with the Color Monte.

Here's another one... yes, get it. It works extremely well with audiences, as do most routines with a gambling theme (people like the idea of winning money). It's also so inexpensive, you really can't go wrong. I use a set until it's worn out, and never have any reservations about buying a new set. Some people say you can do the same routine with regular cards, which is true, but I love the kicker of the $14 at the end, and it goes with my patter very well. Get it, learn it, have fun with it.
