Excellent

By Real World worker, I mean that "performing" this magic for lay people (the reason we do this) it is a killer effect. It has never failed to produce gasps. The finale just leaves them weak and speechless. If you have intermediate card handling skills and work on the routine, the pattern and the moves, you will SLAY your audiences. I used to make my own cards for this with scraping off pips, dry transferring on new pips, and I was never busted but it never looked right to me. What you get with this 3-Card Monte are perfect cards. They are just plain beautiful and perfect in every way. So, with these "weapons" there are no excuses, only Magic.

This one of my mainstays -- I just bought another set because I wore out the previous set of cards. I always get a good reaction of amazement and delight. This even works well with those participant types that try to out-guess you.

If you are looking for a three card monte that will blow their socks off this is the one to get. This is one of the few gaffed card tricks performed by Bill Malone. I have had this for several years and I am always impressed with the reaction it gets. The routine will take a while to learn not too long but once you have it down you have a killer three card monte. Forget the rest you have found the best three card monte out there. The good news is it has also become cheaper over the years. Can not say that for to many things. Really like this one.

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

NOW THIS I LIKE! There are only 3 major packet effects that I think are KILLER, and this is one of them. Add to cart now, then finish reading this review!

The thing about Ultimate 3 Card is just how powerful this effect can be, and honestly how long you can entertain a crowd with only this effect on you. You can get 3 or 4 amazing phases out of this effect, which is ridiculous for something that packs so small. People will flip over this trick!

There is some sleight of hand involved here, and so you got to be careful. Also, it is a gaff and so detail must be put into the presentation of this effect to get heat off the cards. But with practice and performance, people's jaws will hit the floor.

I give it 4 stars because the only drawback to this effect is that you absolutely do not end clean without a switch. The good news is that the trick provides what's needed for the switch so you can end clean. I'm not the biggest fan of the switch the trick describes, but it gets the job done.

Definitely a highly recommended packet effect! Get this and Color Monte and you will rule the night! LOL

People freak out when you do this effect... No matter how fast, slow or badly you do it, people freak out. This is a monte that is just impossible. Each phase grows in impossibility and there is 100% NO chance of anyone figuring this out.

The booklet that comes with this effect is completely proffesional with good illustrations. I was able to pick up this effect in ONE night and had it down perfectly the next day. This is a SUPER easy effect.

Now the card gimmicks; these are the blue ones, which I don't like QUITE as much as the reds JUST because I like red cards better. Regardless, these are still great and they work just as well. Just personal preference.

SUPER hight quality, durable gimmicks that make an attention grabbing, SUPER powerful and practical effect? DEFINITLY worth FAR more than the asking price.

Oh, and come on. Bill Malone does this trick. If that isn't enough for you, nothing will be. ;)

One of the best things of this effect is that you can do it in close up and without a lot of time of practice you will dominate it a create amazing performances. Buy this trick now. THe price should be higher considering what it can do for you!

Effect: An extremly clean 3 card monte with a surprising ending.

Teaching: The teaching was great, I was performing this within an hour.

Quality of materials: They are gimmicked cards, but the gimmick is genius and will last as long as the card will.


Difficulty: 1 - 10 (10 being hardest), I would give this a 2 or 3, yes it's that easy.

Applications: Only close up really. Maybe you can use it for stage, but no one will be able to see the cards.

Overall Rating (1-5, 5 being the best): I give it a 4.5. Would have gotten a 5, but the only way it can be examined is with a switch, so it lost 1/2 a star. The trick really gets jaw dropping reactions, and is worth every penny.

Tried and true and easy to do. Once I open the door to my adult gambling magic this trick is always a winner. For years now this has been a go to trick. In the begining this trick saved me when I got nervous. It never fails to get a strong reaction and pulled the audience in. After this trick Wows them my shows run along smoothly. The slights are very easy to start the final slight is easy but you will want to practice it a few times. Lots of fun in the patter. I have a blast doing this trick for know it alls. Thanks Magic Tad

If you're thinking of getting the 3 Card Monte Card Trick, please, get two! Seriously, this is one of the easiest card tricks to learn and probably one of the best. The secret is magnificent and very hard to expose. A must-have!
