I've been doing the old 3 Color Monte for 20 years and it never fails to get strong reactions.
People are totally surprised when they see that 3rd card turned over.
Normally, when I
purchase a trick, I wait until it comes in the mail and then go out & perform it in the real world
at least a dozen times to gauge the reactions, review the angles, etc...
This is the first
review I've done without waiting for it to arrive in the mail, and I've done dozens of reviews. The
reasons are plenty.
1) It's a fresh take on an age-old trick.
2) It's commercially
entertaining & easily holds both
kids' & adults' attention, which is a constant
struggle in magic, especially in a restaurant with so
much noise and things going on in the
background.
3) Alvo's presentation & storyline (patter) goes hand-in-
hand with the
secret sleights which must be performed.
He gives the reasons why he is opening the doors he
does within the story line. It's brilliant.
4) Even for a beginner, the sleights involved
are very
easy to master. How does one hour of practice sound
for sleights you'll
then use for the rest of your life
with many other tricks as well? For all you working
pro's out there, just like me, I don't know about you
but I've been looking for an
alternative handling for
one of the sleights involved, that being the bottom-
for-top flipover move. It accomplishes the same result
but gives the reason, within the
story line, why
you're doing what you're doing without drawing undue
attention to
it. Alvo, it's flawless & brilliant.
5) It's so inexpensive at this price that with the
specially-printed cards & shipping costs included,
Alvo can't possibly be making more than
$.10 per trick
6) Just in time for Halloween, too. I've been waiting for
a long time for
something to come along to replace the
3 Color Monte. I'm so excited & can't wait for this
to
arrive.
