Let's start with this , Garretts 3 card Monte is up there as one of the best
Routines out there, But it feels as if he put this video out and expansion pak
just to make money on the suckers like myself who love the trick
Please save your money , nothing of value on this DVD . I was totally
surprised at Garrett to put something like this out and again it's like
he is trying ride the success of stand up monte. Please don't waste your money. If you need to buy cards for your routine , make em , or buy em you
know where for like $3 . Don't be a fool like me thinking Garrett has something new to teach you because you will be left like me asking yourself
What the heck did I just buy? As Garrett laughs his way to the bank

If you don't actually know and perform the Stand Up Monte routine well, then this DVD expansion is not for you. I have practiced and performed it nearly a hundred times since I bought it and the pay off for my performances has shown greatly. Many people own Stand Up Monte and don't perform it because of excuses like "it is too hard to remember" or "the moves don't make sense" or they just simply don't put the practice in to make a performance. Well for those that do perform this well and know how good it is I strongly advise buying this.

I preform stand up Monte all the time. and when preforming sometimes certain situations come up and what Garrett gives you in this new dvd is insight to new outs ways to end clean and hand everything out and new phases of the trick, some of it isn't easy. But if you guys and girls already preform this thick you know learning the whole patter of the trick wasn't easy as well.

The new chaos phase is a awesome way for them to be like what?? and the phase where you can make the queen vanish when you set it down is absolutely brilliant, because it truly makes the audience member go like "wtf mate!". and the extra bonus at the very end of the dvd is something i would not to honestly thought of it seems ballsy to me because you letting them know ahead of time you have more than three cards but the overall idea of it is worth the dvd alone just like Garrett says. i know ill try it out.

I would only but this trick if you already perform stand up Monte already. So that is why it gets a 4/5 because of the perquisites needed but not just from the prior trick but adding slights as well.

Refill Cards vs Expansion Pack sets you only $8 bucks for the DVD, so it is a CRAZY Value!
Not only will you get extra tips & subtleties for standard phases, but you also get tips on how to RECOVER when performances go wrong!
Garrett has done this routine Thousands of times, SO if things have gone wrong for him...it'll happen to YOU! Take His experience and prevent pain & embarrassment for you!

Plus, add ways to change up the standard phases for special situations. Alternate phases for difficult spectators, and those who say "Do it Again!" situations.

But Wait!...Why should you only be able to do JUST Stand Up Monte? Want to do MORE routines beyond that Single Routine?...Well, You get exactly what you are asking for! The instant "Water and Oil" routine is excellent and eye popping! The 2-in-1 Transpo is a GREAT if you want to show something after the standard routine.

That would all be beyond what you would want, but you also get tips using lapping when seated, using 'copping' when seated and also standing. Diagonal Shift use and MORE...

SO, if you were debating whether to get Refill Cards or this...it is DEFINITELY worth your best buy after the standard Stand Up Monte!

Highly Highly Recommended!

So while this version has a lot more going on, it's not a back up for original and refill is for original. Therefore, to do this version...there is no refill?! Oh, bother. Have to pay 2x as much for the cards & another DVD?! I was under impression refill was to prevent this mess.

Great product
