"This gets my HIGHEST Recommendation. The phases are highly magical." - David Regal

"This is my favorite monte routines" - John Lovick

Give the classic three-card Monte plot some wild visuals, impossible transpositions, and a kicker ending your audience won’t see coming. All of that plus it’s taught by one of the foremost experts on street cons in the world. This is a three-card swindle that will leave your audiences astonished. This is Con Cam Monte by R. Paul Wilson.

Here’s what happens:

You tell your audience that you will show them how the classic three-card Monte scam works, and shockingly, it has a secret fourth card that lets you win the game. Three black Eights and a red Queen are shown to the audience. One of the black eights is placed off to the side; a spectator can even hold it in their hands for safekeeping. The remaining two black Eights and the red Queen are slowly and deliberately mixed face down on the table. Impossibly, whenever the audience thinks it knows where the Queen is, it trades places with an eight. You let them in on the secret that the queen can transform into an Eight and even become double-sided in an eye-popping sequence of transformations. The Queen jumps from the middle position to the bottom and then vanishes from the packet entirely, which is counted fairly to show they are all Eights. In an unbelievable ending, when they open their hands, the Eight they have been holding onto since the very beginning is discovered to be the Queen.

Con Cam Monte comes with a unique gaff card that makes the routine tremendously easy to perform. The moves are simple and require almost no sleight of hand. Con Cam Monte comes with everything you need to perform straight away, and a tutorial featuring R. Paul Wilson teaching all of the secrets you need to make this Monte routine get big reactions. Take this classic swindle to new heights with Con Cam Monte by R. Paul Wilson.

Con Cam Monte = Best Monte Trick Ever Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2024
Very clever well done trick. Minimal sleights, but you have to be careful what you show and how you handle the cards. With a different card gimmick you can end clean, which is so crazy. Your spectators will think you are a professional con artist after seeing this. Minds will be blown. The slower you do this trick the stronger the impact of it will be. Take your time with this one, you may even fool yourself. Many thanks to Paul Wilson for this effect. This is absolutely going into my everyday carry of packet tricks.

WOW - Love Paul Wilson - going in my wallet Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 4th, 2024
This is a great trick - I have always wanted to have a version of this old idea available and within reach for me and THIS is it! Everything within my reach and all you need is just practice. The instruction on the video is great and the gimmick is just fine - it will last a life time (specially if you are as old as I am!)

Really Good Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 4th, 2024
I’d prefer to pan this trick do no one else gets it, but I’ll be truthful in saying it’s really good. Simple, to the point, easy to follow with whatever routine you employ, and each phase makes sense and merges seamlessly into the next. This resembles Steve Valentine’s 3, but there are key differences. If you’re a fan of monte tricks or similar themes, this is solid and recommended.

Genius 3 Card Monte variation. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 31st, 2024
Very good tutorial.
Easy to follow and understand.
Comes with a unique gimmick.
This version of the 3 Card Monte scam is intelligent and extremely fooling.
Lay people will not easily be able to track back this little gem.
I love it.

Poor Production! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 27th, 2024
This gets a three star rating because three is the average between one and five.
The effect itself and R. Paul Wilson’s tutorial are five stars.
P3’s production of this effect gets one star from me.
P3 has gotten lazy in the production of this effect.
How so, you ask?
They do not include any live performances by Mr. Wilson himself.
In the tutorial Mr. Wilson talks about all the moments of magic in this routine and how to enjoy the by-play with the spectator and also the audience management he recommends.
This same effect is marketed on this site with a DVD and the gimmicked card needed. I found a 14 year old YouTube video wherein Mr.Wilson says he has been performing this effect for “over twenty years”. That means Mr. Wilson has been performing this effect for at least 34 years.
Yet, P3 did not feel that a live performance by Mr. Wilson, after honing this effect for decades, was warranted.
Instead we get one live performance by Erik Tait who loses his place in the routine but manages to stumble his way through it.
Did P3 scrap that performance video and included a clean performance of the effect? No, that singular, mediocre performance with Eriks’ interpretation and bumbling patter made the final cut.

At the end of the tutorial Mr. Wilson asks the viewer if you have performed C.C.M.!
I turn the question back on him and ask if he performed it, and if so, why were those performances not included in the production of this effect?

Don’t get me wrong, Erik is a fantastic magician and his live performance included in this production proves that even professionals make mistakes.

The big mistake here is that we do not get to see how Mr. Wilson performs the effect for a live audience, especially after decades of perfecting it.

I am very disappointed in P3s’ production of this great effect!

I found it easy to perform I think I practiced it two times before I was able to do it I posted it to my YouTube to my LinkedIn to my TikTok and to my Facebook. I had so many people tell me that I just blew their minds away.
I highly recommend this easy to do packet trick It is something you can keep in your pocket and just blow people's minds away with
They will think you are the most skillful magician as that queen moves into places and disappears from places within seconds

Con Cam Monte Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 17th, 2024
Fun and easy trick to do with a good punch at the end. I’m not a professional but I love magic and play and do tricks for family and friends. Had a dinner with family and pulled this one out after dinner and got surprised looks and good reactions. Love this one and it’s a good one to keep on hand at all times
