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)
