I agree with the Princess Card Trick or Limited Edition as mentioned by others.

My vote is for...

Ace In The Hole by Nick Trost. This trick kills and also has an entertaining plot line. Haven't seen it in years. Nick used to have some great packet tricks on the market.


Michael Mode

Michael Skinner's Three Card Monte... I get so much mileage out of it.

And since I go through so many of them... the dealers get so much money out of me. (hehe)

Thank you for all information. Some of them I never heard of, just like "Second Blush" , "Cascade - by Roy Walton ", Joe Riding's 'Guinness & Castella' , and Wild Man Wild (Hans Trixer) .. Anyone can let me know where I can look for these tricks ? Thanks

Cascade by Roy Walton (and the derivative, "Rainbow Cascade") can be bought from Davenports Magic in London. Sorry, I can't help with the others!

Twisted Sisters
EYE EXAM
ODD BALL
The Web

I like The Web.

1. Reset (P.Harris)
2. Twisting the Night Away (second version in "The Book That Doesn't Exist")

Out of the blue by John Guastaferro

Twisted Sisters is great but I still think B'wave is a better trick.
I often use my Twisted Sisters for B'wave.

Three Card Monkey Business (color monte without those reflective diamonds)
I believe this was the original title of the handling used in color monte.

Skinners Ultimate Three Card Monte.
With the routine from Bill Malone's L&L DVD
(basically the same as in the instructions)

Virginia City Aces.
Can't get enough of this one, people love it
I almost don't want to mention it.

Three Card Monte
Out of all the Monte tricks
I get the most work out of the classic
Learn the hype and the old rhyming patter
School for Scoundrels book is excellent

...Psychic Twins, Phil Goldstein. ( shhhhh )

I purchased Wild Man Wild many years ago direct from Paul Curry ( he was nice enough to send me his autograph) I do not think it is available anywhere though. It is a wild card effect where the backs change as opposed to the faces...Cascade is a great effect and one really good thing about it is, no gaffed cards..SUPER packet trick.

I like:

1) 10 by Richard Sanders (or look it up on his SuperCards DVD). It's an in the hands effect in which the cards change into something else entirely!

2) U3CM - I love this routine by Michael Skinner.

3) Intuition/Out of the Blue - It's a color changing Reset!!

1) Chameleon Reset - Dan Fleshman
2) Kings at Large (I think that's the name) - Roy Walton (no gaff Twisted Sister type effect)
2) Intuition / Out of the Blue - John Guastaferro
3) Oil & Water - Martin Lewis
4) Magic Cards - Bannon version
5) Cardboard Chameleons - Daryl. Given the time and space to perform, this kills.

havent heard of Queens out of Control. What is the effect and where might I find this at?

A wonderful version of Wild Cards is, "The Wild Blanks," by Shigeo Takagai, from the book, "The Amazing Miracles of Shigeo Takagi," by Richard Kaufman. I have been using it for about 10 years - no card moves - can be done by a beginner, yet it packs a punch. As someone mentioned in another thread, the spectators will swear they have seen both sides of each card - read it just for the turnover sequence. Five, blank (double sided) playing cards are shown. You sign your name to one side of one of the cards - then the other cards also have your signature on one side. Can also be done with business cards - Kaps' style. At the end of the effect, you can give the five cards to a spectator as souvenirs. If you can find or have the book and can get some double sided, blank playing cards, this one will be worth it.

Another wonderful packet trick is Gordon Bean's, "Monte 3.0" - great routine, no table required (all in the hands) and the cards can be examined at the end of the routine.
Richard

Yes, I also like Monte 3.0

Cros Twist/Bizarre Twist by Paul Harris.

Twisted Sisters by John Bannon

another vote for Color Monte

and Michael Skinner's Ultimate 3 Card Monte

And also Bizarre Twist by Paul Harris.

Peter Duffie's Syncromatic is currently serving me very well.

Although nothing beats Jumping Gemini.

Richard Sanders' packet tricks from Super Cards are almost all great.

But my newest favorite is Meester Tweester from Cheetas Handbook vol. 2. Great Reset/Twisting routine from Jack Parker.

My favourite packet trick would be Twisted Sisters. The effect looks like real mind reading to the lay audiance and is very easy to do.
