The Effect To convey the value of the information you are about to learn, we can do no better than to quote the infamous S.W. Erdnase from his classic book, The Expert at the Card Table-"But there is not a single card feat in the whole calendar that will give as good returns for the amount of practice required, or that will mystify as greatly, or cause as much amusement, or bear so much repetition, as this little game; and for these reasons we believe it worth of unstinted effort to master it thoroughly."
You will be expertly taught this amazing effect by none other than Daryl-the World Champion Magician's Magician. Daryl is one of the finest teachers of magic in the world today. He takes you through step-by-step instructions for many different 3-Card Monte sequences and, if you need any further convincing of the astonishing reaction this effect gets, you are also treated to Daryl's live performances of two of the more famous routines. This video is both entertaining and invaluable to anyone interested in magic.

THis review is for the DVD called three fly coins arcoss.Iam submiting a review because I was not able to submit it under the 3 fly DVD.
Ok I like this man.Sure he is not all that flash and his videos don't come off like a music video but he will show you simple hard hitting improv magic that will earn you money and impress people and yes The chicks.
THis man is a very compassionate teacher and he speaks clearly and takes his time to offer you the customer value for your money and quality techniques and slieghts.
I am so impressed with his teaching that I am considering to buy his whole collection on Encyclopedia on card which is a 244 dollar value.
It is nice to find quality DVD's that make you feel happy that you spent the money on.

OLD BUT GOOD!

This effect is one of the best totaly impromptu. I just don't like the fact that this method is used for more than 200 years now! But it still it is very effective, Nobaody will figure this one out. I do highly recommend this one!
It's a definite Thumbs Up! Plus all the different material on this method on the DVD is unbelievable. For the price get it now. You won't be disappointed. This trick concerns one major move, which is not hard to perform.

I recently purchased several card tricks from Penguin, but this is by far the best value for the money. The video is highly entertaining and Daryl's instruction on the moves is clear and concise. There is so much material on this DVD that you will be kept busy for quite a long time learning all the variations. Buy it now!
This DVD is a really good value for money. Over 2 hours worth of fun and entertaining stuffs, and Daryl's teaching style is very clear and informative. I personally find the game of 3 card monte very intriguing, and never realise there are so many variations of the game until I come across this. Very highly recommended!

Daryl does it again

Once again, Daryl delivers an encyclopedic treatise on yet another classic of card magic, the Three Card Monte. I've performed entire shows with nothing but the material on this DVD. I really can't say enough about Daryl's explanation style. Concise, detailed, quick, and to the point, yet, easy to understand and fun to behold. And the performances are top-notch. After watching this DVD I became obsessed with the three card monte and performed nothing else for months. And the great thing was that the DVD gave me plenty of material to keep me busy for even longer than that. Yet another definitive resource from a name that will go down in the books with the best of them. This is a must-have for anyone seriously into card magic.
