I didn't really care for this. This is extremely angle sensitive and requires audience strict audience management that seems unnatural to me in a monte routine. The quality wasn't that great on my set either. Some like it, but for me I will stick to the penguin shells

Angles are a killer

This was a freebie for me. The angles are a killer. People figure it out if they move even slightly from where you set them up. It looks better in the video than in person. Oz does a great job teaching as always. This ended up in my parts box.

Three domino monte
[Verified buyer] by Dovie Kivman from New York on 04/04/2010 17:18:34
The overall effect is a beautiful one and Oz teaches the routine very well in the download, but there is one thing that ruins the entire trick. The angles suck.
I mean there is hardly anywhere where the spectators can stand without seeing the secret. Too much to the sides, or too high up, you're screwed.
Unfortunately the handling can't be changed for better angles, so we will just have to wait for someone to come up with a better gimmick.
The only good thing is that at the end of the routine, you can hand out all the dominoes.

It's okay...

This could work as an opener or just as a bit of a gag but it doesn't pack the punch that say three card monte or the 3 shells has.
The gimmicks are a bit cheap but certainly do whats required of them, so if you think this would suit your style then theres no reason no to get it. Unfortunately it just doesn't suit my style.

Stand there and stand still
[Verified buyer] by Peter Gilmore from Wollongong, NSW Australia on 04/03/2010 05:51:07
I have attempted to integrate this into performances a few times and so far the only times I have been able to successfully perform it have been when I have been able to control the situation very tightly. Usually by placing my performance table with my back to a corner, I would coax one or two people to come and "play three domino monte". Any more than two people and this trick seems to fall down. If someone stands a little off to the side and tilts there head, they are in the awkward position of seeing things they shouldn't.
I find myself focusing more on making sure they are at the right angle than actually on what I am doing in the trick.
Perhaps I am not performing it correctly and I have had a few people very impressed and confused but I worry about performing tricks that I can't control the outcome. If I don't know whether it will work - I prefer not to do it.
I was once told, "Amateurs are occasionally brilliant, professionals are consistently good". This feels like an amateur product.
All that said - Oz's handling and instruction is really great and the learning experience was rewarding.
Bottom line - If you can control your environment, order this trick. If you work where you can't control how people are around you - do not buy it.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
