The Genii Forum

Recently, some people asked me to do an impromptu demonstration of Three Card Monte. Out of curiosity, I pulled Skinner's Ultimate Monte off the shelf and was astounded by the intensity of the play. It was completely out of proportion to the level of magic. (As someone who has spent a lot of time studying Three Card Monte Ortiz, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.)

Anyway, this performance made me look closely at other Montes on my shelf (Roger's Unconquered Cards, Farmer's Shiny Banmo Monte, Bloom's Visible Monte, Bean's Monte 3. 0, 3 Valentines, Page's Three Card Trick, etc.). These are a lot of fun to play, including some really exciting sequences. But some of them are quite far removed from the real game they are based on.

A question for all of you who work for real people: if you had an equally powerful presentation, would you prefer the gaff approach? Or are you in the Ortiz camp and think that full-blown Monte techniques are best during presentations? (Yes, I know - effectiveness is important, but I'm just asking to get the conversation started).

Just to be clear, by "it works for real people" I don't mean that this is going to be a pro-only discussion. I just wanted to hear about your experiences with both types of routines in the real world.

The Dutch Looper is a long-standing British transplant that has sold for thousands on the stock market. It's a Monte routine that uses three cards and a gaff card. I've demonstrated it in 1. 15. I've also made a Worm and Svengali card game:

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

Well, the real Montessori that people do on the street for money and the magician's Montessori are completely different things, so it seems pointless for magicians to pursue some kind of pure method. In a show, the goal is to pierce the audience's eyes, and the performer must do whatever is necessary to achieve that.

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

When you give a presentation instead of the implementation, you want to use your usual card! I can't imagine using a fake card. Leave it to the buyer! Certainly, I've been using Bernon's 3-card Monte routine and I've been doing it for decades!

The best Monte Routine I've ever seen is John Tremaine. But I haven't seen it for 50 years. It was wonderful! He called it "Scarlett Pinper" or this clan. I don't think he has opened this number or announced as a printed matter, except for a fairly small passage in his own card trick book. I am using a guff card. While he is still with us, he will publish it someday. He has no ability to be young.

John Tremaine's THE AMAZING BOOK OF CARD TRICKS has "The Pimpernel Queen" (52 pages), which looks pretty good. A routine like Jennings Homing Card has the ability to function as Monte if the pack size is reduced from 5 to 2 at the end. But this is also faster than an effect.

Here, do you have a concert using a guff set (or 3/4 Joe Riding set) as a boring appeal, but has the skills to be played on wink? If so, how does this work?

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

Like most poker routine, what you are doing is considered a trivial way of showing professionalism (so it is not impossible), or it is not possible to show magic (so it is impossible. It seems that you have to judge.

There is no point in the method, and the important thing is the recognition of visitors. If they look at this professionalism, this is one reaction, and if they look at this magic, this is another reaction.

In my own routine "Monster Banmo Monte", I cannot deny that I am on the side of magic. The show of professionalism seems a bit boring to me, and puts me in a coma with almost all poker/shuffle routines. If it's not mystical, it doesn't interest me, and it doesn't really matter which way you go (i. e. real or apparent professionalism, real cards or gaffed cards). Here are my reasons:

I found this to be quite bothersome to me. I admit that my position is somewhat personal, but I think there is a logical basis for why I do things the way I do. I've studied 3 card monte, Con. I've studied his situation for years. I'm fascinated by the psychology of how dealers and shillers exploit the greed and naivety of players (bad cheats, by the way). Often 6-8 A shill of people participates, all of which are differentiated from friend to friend like night and day, and each plays an important role. Make no mistake, I am not recommending Three Card Monte as a scam or a swindle. It was and is the doing of vulgar and immoral charlatans and criminals who are forced to serve in prisons, and I always warn them not to play this game even once, because it is not literally a game, not all odds are on, and you never start winning. But, as I said, it fascinates me.

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

In my own demos, I talk about the colorful popular (or rather infamous) figures who pioneered this game in America, such as George Devol, Canada Bill, Frank Turbo (with his "Lube's Law"), and all sorts of scams they performed on steel roads, steamboats, in the back rooms of saloons, for example, "Monte shops" where they attracted suckers with the promise that they could get literally anything for a dime. What interested me was the trick where one person "wins" by setting up the right bets, and the other person loses by making a stupid mistake. The sucker periodically watches the drama unfold, watching the dealer pay out believing he is smarter and more observant than the loser, and there is a spy, often an affable, well-dressed gentleman, to sympathetically reassure the duped sucker.

Certainly, I was a pureist, and it was unpleasant to see the paradoxical cardmaster using a guff card, doing it quite slowly, and challenging the audience. In some cases, it may seem meaningless to the viewer. But this is clearly their choice. For me, if someone asks or catches such a dirty card, I'm angry and get angry. Keep in mind that there is a fierce discussion here about what corresponds to a highly perfected concept, but at least the version I saw at Skinner does not fall under the definition of Skinner. It would be difficult to convince me. The highly perfected definition is that, apart from the fact that the card has committed a blunder, there is no comment on what is going on. But to avoid mistakes, I generally believe Michael Skinner is one of the greatest coordinates with great intentions in this situation.

However, even if you are convinced that you will never be 100 %, I will reject the blunder and arrange a ful l-fledged Monte that throws cards. There is a possibility, it is a pride and a rea l-oriented problem, and I do not deny it. And I can't imagine making tricks using curve angles, switches, and other excellent traditional moves. From my own soap stand, I quote the words of S. V. Eldonase (I don't know who you), who have been mentioned once or twice here: "But as a whole, need it. There will be no card games that provide similar good answers, for example, this smaller games, more than a lot of joys. Is he right?

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

The ignorant version that uses genuine skills has a greater advantage compared to the Skiner routine due to the fact that there is nothing on the skin routine. Skinner's routine is a terrible routine, regardless of its popularity. This is the "Find the Ace" routine of Eddie Titerbaum (Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic by Lewis Ganson, UNIQUE MAGIC, 1967).

The Teiter Baum version uses a Deland Pikitaut Card (Ace, Ace, 2, 3 Clubs) to provide a routine that puts a card on food (close to a real Monte using three cards). The routine consists of three stages.

1st stage: After the card is shown in a fan (ace on the outside), it is distributed in a row in a covered state, and the ace goes to the left cover. Ace flies to the center like magic.

2nd stage: Take the card and spread it to two (Ace is on the outside again). Ace is distributed in fac e-t o-face, and two pieces are distributed to the left and right (that is, the ace should be in the middle). Strangely, you notice that there are 3 in the middle where there should be an ace.

Third stage: 3 is thrown away and placed aside to make it easier to observe the ace. Only Ace and 2 are used. Ace is no longer there, 3.

Unfortunately, this routine is not as simple as you can imagine from the explanation of the effect, but a serious drawback. The main thing is that the end is replaced with a cover (Fan A-3-2 should be covered or vice versa after covering).

After the 3-A-2 is properly shown, the cards are distributed one by one, picked up, counted in the order of face-to-face, and fan out again to show A-3-2. It will be.

Before and after this "Shafur", the cards are in the same order, but if you face the pack face-to-face, the end space will change, for example, the first fan (3-A-2) is the first. From the end, 2 (A-3-2) comes out of the other end.

Logically, this is completely ridiculous. Why do you show the cards in a certain order, turn them away, throw away a few, and then look fac e-t o-face and show them in another order? However, what is even more amazing is that those who care about Ace will think that there is an ace in the middle. He started in the middle and the card was counted twice.

This is actually Monte using three cards, and I want to remember that visitors are required to watch the ace. If they really decide to do this, this method should be bullied like a bullet.

In search of Ace, this illogical line has been used twice in the first and second stage, but has been completely denied for a larger lie.

At the end of the phase, two cards are laid out on the face-up table in the order A-3-2 (only the 3 shown as the mean card). The cards are raised one by one and turned face up. Even the 3 is still required to be in the middle, but when the cards are dissected with a fan, they are as they appeared last (3-A-2).

There is no illogical melting, there is practically no mixing of cards, but the cards are not in a shape that obligates them to lie (a magic happened, but the magician did not seem to notice).

By using all the dark cards in the order A-2-3, it focuses attention from the contradictions, and does not hide them. By having the deuce in front every time, the ace-like 3 goes back and forth between 1 and 2 every day.

And after all, the management in some key areas is free and rather uncomfortable (for example, at the first showing of cards).

"Ultimate 3-Card Monte" by Mike Skinner was first presented on the market in 1990 and quickly became the most famous among gaffed monks. It is literally similar to Teitelbaum's program (hence the Ultimate Hyperlink is the Ultimate Secret Program of Card Magic).

The awkward manipulations are gone, ACEs are scarlet, 2s and 3s are dark.

But nothing has changed. Tasovka's illogical switching of the first and second phases and the glitch in the final pickup of the second phase are applied. The priority of the cards remains A-2-3.

Rogers' "Unpaste Cards" Mike Rogers devised his own routines in the 1960s and apparently surpasses all routines by Teitelbaum and Skinner by the fact that he invites the conclusion of the tasks of these routines. Its relative obscurity is probably due to the fact that it could only be bought from Jeff Busby Magic dealers, whose stubbornness narrowed the circle of buyers (diplomatic, but if Honest, he was an idiot).

In his program, A-2-3 is not used, but the A-2-2 configuration is used. Apart from this, the Ace is scarlet (a tuber) and the Deuce is dark (a clover and a spike).

Now the spectator only has to deal with two pieces of baggage, a reddish Ace and a dark Deuce (instead of three pieces of baggage, an Ace, a Deuce and a Three, as in other versions). This makes the effect clearer and the method more deceptive.

Rogers still use unrogical sorting, but they are improved: the ace is placed in the middle before sorting and left in the middle after sorting. In fact, the card is exactly the same as the 2S-AD-2C in front and after the shuffle.

The shuffle is still illogical (because the cards are lined up in the same order before and after the shuffle), but if you observe them carefully, the order of the card seems to be correct.

The fact that Rogers devised is mainly the fact that the cards are mainly held and distributed in a row (in other programs, the cards are distributed to the awar d-oriented fan, sometimes distributed ostensibly. The other programs are left behind. ) As a result, Rogers' procedure looks much fairer and much more unrealistic.

The series of movements is almost the same as Tetelbaum / Skinner, but Rogers adds the second beat to the second stage.

There are some ways to execute the skin/ Rogers routine, which has no purpose, and they are described in the sample Banmo Monte instructions.

Bob sheets came up with a routine using the routine of Skinner / Rogers and the routine elements of Banmo, but he was a genuine play.

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

Dutch loopers have three programs, depending on which envelope you choose randomly. The Royal "" Royal card is one for a lady, one jack, and one ruler has one procedure. In the case of Jack (sometimes a queen), if you have a child in front of you, you will definitely have the right card. By doing so, you can complain to the small kids, saying, "Look, your baby doesn't know anything!" It's the best therapy after dealing with the fucking all day.

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

However, Pat Page's "Kitson's Miracle" is a trick that has made cooler improvements than "Dutch Looper" (the three cards are likely to be on the front and back), and is definitely the best version.

Re: Gimmicked Three Card Monte vs. Real

I want to say that it is basically a hybrid. For example, in my routine, there are both elements, sometimes at the same time.

When Ricky Jay saw Ricky Jay and Hiz, 52 Helpers, he was very fascinated by his opening scene. He has referred to the reputation of the Canadian Building as the best Monte dealer ever. He holds three cards about 1/4 inches, and he used three red heart queens during the Canada Building, lying each queen vertically (looking up). He pointed out that if you throw it up, it will be like that. It looks like a red queen, but before throwing the last (actually the only) queen on the table, he has a large black X with a pencil to distinguish it from the other two queens. He explained that it was drawn. Then, pick up one card from the table, hold it again in one hand (in the same way), say, "I thought it would be better to use only a black card later." I showed it one by one. It was a beautiful and magical transformation, with three red queen turned into three black duo. Ricky further explained that he finally realized that drawing a black card could get contrast.

Another sequence I use is what I learned from Eugene Burger and I arranged it. At one point in the middle of the routine, the three cards seem to be darkening. The dealer uses this chat, losing one number in order and paying attention to the certainty of where the queen is, because the dealer is using three dark cards. There are things (I am a demonstration that all three are darkening while reading this Tong twister), but the dealer turns over one card and indicates that he is always playing in the queen. 。 I see that this stage conveys the effects of magic rather than professionalism, but the essence of professionalism is also strongly implied because it is the content of bent games, explanations and presentations of bent players. I am.

At the top of the column, a comment like a silk prepares a bet, wins the brand, and wins the brand, the card is slowned in a legal method (without any 'hype advertising'), all visitors are all visitors. Of course, just follow him. Sil has been paid to confirm that the signal will receive the money he wins. However, in the right order, when the signal prepares the bet, the card is definitely thrown in the same way as the previous order and is literally shuffled. As a result, when the visitors looked surprisingly that the mark lost and of course there was no queen, a knife of magic and professionalism appears again. Surprising elements that appear when the reddish cards change slightly into a black card are magical impact, while the invisible changes they are aware of are professionalism and operation.

PRACTICAL MAGIC: THREE CARD MONTE

One of the factors in my program, George Devol used a trick that shows a 100 % absolute accuracy of having a woman at the center, but when the duck is in a hurry to bet on a specific card. He explained that he made a clever replacement, but did not find it (he turned over the center card and indicated that it was actually black). Of course, this is the production of professionalism, and there is no doubt that visitors feel so.

I told you how Canada Bill and other players of his time explained the benefit of tricks with bent angles, and that he actually wore glasses with a width below the cola to show how poor eyesight he had, and that now he actually distracts the game of curves (pure irony), another Schuler, winking conspiratorially at the marker, in protest against bending the angle of the queen Schuler. Canada Bill's incompetence to deal with this showed first, and then he threw the cards for food, and the mark hardly needed any additional incentive to settle a huge rate into a cup with a bent corner. When the card with the lightning went dark and it turned out that there was no lightning in the queen, it caused the strongest reaction in the program, due to the fact that it was not a transfer of elements that was happening, but, in essence, a double reincarnation. In fact, what could have more mysterious abilities than that? And at the same time, the visitor would understand that unimaginable professionalism is applied here, and there is no chance that he will not transfer dinner for you.

WATCH AND LEARN THIS PRACTICAL MAGIC TRICK.

This practical focus pros is a traditional scam for centuries, and people are still falling for it. Find out how to accomplish the Three Card Monte (also called "Find the Lady") and try not to heal with your hard-earned funds. If you haven't thought about it yet, you will never win with this Ilji.

Effect: Three cards are seen. As a rule, a reddish queen and two dark cards. The cards are placed face down on the food and the spectator is asked to find the queen. Every time the cards are mixed, it is revealed where the reddish queen is and each spectator makes a mistake.

Secret: This is a similar useful focus bonus that introduces regular playing cards. In this focus, people are often asked to put money where they believe the queen is. Of course, autonomy of the fact that they choose, they lose their money. That's how it is.

In this practical focus, regular playing cards and unpretentious methods are used. Place the queen in the center and place the dark cards on either side of it. All three cards are slightly folded in the middle, making a flow so that they are in a straight line when viewed from the front.

Take the left black card with your big finger and index finger and place it on top of the middle queen. Leave an empty space between the two cards. Hold up two cards to reveal the Queen. This is the basic effect (Figure 1).

Take the remaining black cards with your other hand. Place the Queen in the center with dark cards on either side. Show the spectator that the Queen is in the center.

And this is the most cunning hand. Take the black card on the left, place it on the queen again, raise both, and indicate the identity of the queen. Up to this point, when you throw away the middle queen, you will actually throw away the black card at the top.

This step requires practice. But this doesn't take much time. Lay both cards with a huge finger and index finger. The card is broken to some extent.

Pull the bottom card (queen) a little with the middle finger or ring finger, and create a chance to slow down the top black card (Fig. 2).

In the training video/ photo above, I strongly claimed this movement. However, in actual performance, there is no need to doubt this movement. Now you can choose a place to place a black card or queen.

For example, when the card was stirred for the first time, the queen was in the middle, but when you make it in the same way (but on a special course), the customer should wait, in fact the queen is in the middle. 。 Please actually show that it is actually located at the end.

Rules another simple blend in Good Bat and leave a queen in the center. Place the central queen on the left backcard. In this way, one black card comes out instead of the queen.

Pick up both cards and show the card below for a while. Discard the queen above on the food, show the same black card again, and place it on the food. The audience seems to have only proved that the two cards are dark. However, in fact, you have proved a black card twice.

Therefore, when you let the audience recognize the place where the queen is, the audience actually thinks that they actually saw both dark cards, and as a result, the queen is different from the remaining cards lying along the face. I think it's not and misunderstand again.

With the support of special courses, you can reset queen or black cards, and combine with a run that "shows the same black card" can truly confuse the visitors and perform stunning focus bucks. 。 Let's tell you the holy grail of this effect.

Usually, visitors have the ability to guess where the queen can stay, which is absolutely correct. Only at this time, the "replacement" hand can be applied.

Practical Magic! - If your spectator chooses a Queen, you simply arrest one of the dark cards. In effect, you are secretly swapping a card for a space. This is by far the most difficult move to master, and requires a lot of practice, as you can only attempt it once. If you make a mistake during a concert, the audience will notice.

This is what you need to create. Push the chosen card (the Queen) forward, grab a corner of another card with your thumb and index finger, and slide it diagonally under the chosen card (Figure 3). Press that card down on the table with your other hand (Figure 4).

When the two cards make contact, take the top card (the Queen), hold it face down, and with your remaining free fingers flip over the bottom black card (Figure 5). In succession, it will appear as if you have flipped over your opponent's chosen card with another card.

Again, this is an advanced move that requires practice. You should not use this move in your own concerts until you have perfected it. But if you can master this move, your "Three Card Monte" program will be a sure success! :-)Hint: As a rule, the accomplice (the person who participates in the scam) bets money on the queen to win. This way, the other players get the illusion that they have a winning chance, but they don't!If you like magic, check out my work.DVD with magic tutorials 2. .
