Show three cards - an Eight of Spades is sandwiched between two court cards. Shut the fan - WHAMMO! - The Eight jumps to the bottom of the packet. Just as fast as you can re-fan the cards, it's jumped back to the center! It's unbelievable and lightning quick. Do this as many times as you like - because of a hidden secret built into the Bicycle cards, they'll never suspect anything!

Now for the finale - turn over all three cards in your hand and they're now all eights! They didn't see that coming! It's a slam-bam ending that your spectators will never forget.

There's no technique here folks, just do the fastest fan you can (the one where the cards just squirt out from your fingers) and the magic happens! Comes with cards and very thorough instructions. Thanks for this one, Harold!

Cool Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 8th, 2014
Cool although it is not too practical and the skills you learn from this can only be used with this packet. I prefer impromptu, examinable but this is definitely not. Don't get me wrong, I've performed this for years and love it but don't think you can hand this out for examination.

So far so good Report this review

It took me some time but I finally see why the UltiMonte is good.

Actually I spread out all my material on my working table so I am conscious of all that I have. I'm rewriting my notes of ideas to make them readable in the future. At the same time, my items being more visible I came by the UltiMonte which I didn't open since 4 months :)

I started practicing and learning it today. After 15 minutes of gradual step-by-step learning I got the hang of the mechanics. After another 10 minutes it was fluid. After another hour I was able to present with different patter forms. It is harder than the color monte, easier than the stand-up monte and the 3-card street monte as taught by Sal Piacente.

I've performed it 25 times, and it works actually better than when I first used the cards, they take form and even though they get used up a bit they work well...

The other reviews said what I had to say about its positivity : the ease of use compared to the greatness of the effect.

I will write down what negative points I've seen up to now.
The instructions that come with the cards are pretty good. They are however a little confusing in the transition between 17 and 18. All in all these are minor problems which with a little thinking can be solved. Actually it made me think on how to make the handling more fluid.

All in all the instructions are given in a manner to prevent any possible mistakes. As you get better handling cards certain moves can be cut down.

As with any magic this can be personalized and your patter can be inventive.
UltiMonte as preformed by Oz Pearlman in the previews is actually more efficient in that it reduces the amount of unnecessary motions. (Just watch and you will understand)

Love this effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 10th, 2014
I have performed this over the past several years and love it. In fact, I love this effect so much I made a video of myself performing it and handed it out to all my friends that live overseas and based on the reaction of their faces, they were stunned. It is a jaw dropping moment that the spectator will never forget. This is a definitely add-to-cart!

UltiMonte Report this review

This is a great version of the three card monte. I only give it three stars though because it isn't that impressive to watch. Don't get me wrong, most spectators will like it but others won't care for it. It's really the ending that is the best part, but I guess that's the way it should be. If you are worrying about the secret "wearing off" pick some stuff up and you can touch them up later on if needed.

fun to watch Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 11th, 2006
I love performing this trick. Each person has to come up with their own storyline to perform it, but either way, even if you know the secret, it's fun to watch done well. It is true that after about 50 times it doesn't look as good, but if you read the instructions it tells you what you need and how to keep the trick working like new.

Rewrite Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 9th, 2006
Two years ago (2 pages back) I posted a good review of this trick. It worked fine for the first three times, but then all the cards seperate (people who perform it know what I mean) and I have to be very careful, and it doesn't look smooth at all. It maybe the set I got, but it (it being the secret) wares off.
