I love monte routines and this one is no exception. Some of the phases are real eye-poppers and the whole routine is an audience-pleaser. Oz does an excellent job walking you through the phases step-by-step. It will take some time to get all of the phases memorized, but soon enough you will be performing this like a monte pro.

GREAT effect!
by Chris Beason from Atlanta, Georgia on 04/07/2010 02:55:48
Man oh man, have I never been so happy about someone re-releasing an effect! This is identical (as far as I know) to the Michael Skinner monte, which is AMAZING. Now, why am I happy about this being re-released?
Well, first off, I never had any problems understanding the manuscript that came with the Skinner monte. However, the handling here is different (slightly) AND it comes with a video download for easier learning, which is always a plus.
In addition, for 15 dollars, you get some AMAZING quality gimmicks; 2 SETS OF THEM! This is a great value to any close-up worker for an amazing effect.

Clean! almost too clean.
by Richard Montesa from CA. USA on 04/03/2010 00:20:09
This is an amazing visual 3 card monte effect. What looks like impossible transpositions, switches and sleights. This trick will blow minds. I only gave this 4 stars instead of 5 only because the trick looks too good. Often when I do this trick I have to make my moves look more "dirty" then it actually is just to throw the dogs off my scent sort of speak. Luckily I know some pretty legit switches that I use before showing this trick, so it makes the impossible...all that much more possible.
But this is a fun simple trick. Very easy to master! Make sure to practice this one until you have the routine down pat! -seriously. It's a set routine, and if you mis-step you'll fall flat on our face and kill it.

classic trick!

Well worth the price, this one is a simple, easy to master trick for beginners, and a simple banger to whip out for a more experienced magician. Can easily be done just about anywhere, is more or less angle proof... a good buy for the money, without question
