Effect
The magician displays three cards-one with a blue spot and two which have red spots. He explains that the cards are used to play a game of chance, the object being to keep track of the card with the blue spot. If you find the blue card you win a dollar, but if you`re wrong then you owe a dollar. He and the spectators will.
He goes on to relate how he was once taken by the game and shows how quickly he lost three dollars. Every time he thought he had the blue card it ended up being the red! Frustrated, he accused the man of not even having a blue card in his hands, but when it was shown on the bottom he lost another dollar! Trying to catch the hustler again, he stated that if the card was on the bottom it couldn`t possibly be on top, but was wrong again and lost another dollar! In a last ditch effort he guessed that it couldn`t be the center card, but once again lost another dollar! His running total was now up to six dollars. Continuing, the performer tells how he told the hustler that he thought more than three cards were being used, but was once again proven wrong and he lost another dollar! Being the gambler he is, he tried one more time, double or nothing. The hustler clearly showed one card with a red spot, a second card with a blue spot and stated all the magician had to do was guess the color of the third card. Red, right? Wrong again-the card isn`t red or blue, but a surprise card no one will expect!Comes complete with the three necessary cards printed on Bicycle stock and detailed instructions.

This is a fantastic beginner's trick that will continue to be part of your routine as you become more skilled. I have done this trick hundreds of times and people continue to be amazed by it. There is only a small amount of sleights to learn, and the patter provided is easily tailored to fit your needs. Once you learn the routine you will find that you can use different cards to change then ending. This is the best bang for your buck available.

Color Monte
Price: $4.99
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
REVIEW: First of all, I have to preface this by saying that this is probably the BEST trick for $4.99 that you'll ever find. Period. When I initially bought this trick, I thought to myself, "OK, this should be fun....a little teaser to show people before busting out my main card tricks!"
However, I found that in almost every performace, when I was completely finished with my entire routine, the audience completely disregarded my other (more fascinating) card tricks, and they always told me the same thing: "Do that Color Monte trick again!"
They could care less that I reset 4 jacks back into aces, or did some cool mentalism trick. The one trick they consistently ask to see again was the color monte!
The other comment I get a lot is, "DUDE! I could make so much money from people if I learned how to do that!"
I give this trick a 9.5/10, simply because it's EASY to do, it teaches you a basic slight, and the cards are great. Not only are they Bicycle, but the $14 card always gets a great reaction.
Pros:
- Cheap
- Always fries the spectator
- Comes with an awesome card case that you can use to carry all your packet tricks
Cons:
- There really isn't any con to purchasing this trick. You spend more in tax at your local restaurant than you do on a trick like this.
