I do this down the pub sometimes to try and win a pint

All in all, a great trick, and another brilliant reason to buy Mark Wilsons Complete Course In Magic

In my opinion, it's only effective if done once per person/crowd. It's easy for a spectator to figure out what's going on after they know what to expect.
Besides, you can never really show the "face" of the card that remains on your hand and the first thing peolple want to see as soon as you reveal that the card has changed is the face of the card you're holding.
All my monte effects use miss-you-know-what cards, which in my opinion is a far much better and cleaner method.

If well performed, people are CONVINCED to see the face of both cards, and the back of both cards...that's why you turn them both over, to show the other face...but i respect your opinion
what about your version? I'm curious

liked it very much
can u show COMPLETELY the face of the cards, at the same time?
and: the choice of the 3 cards is really free? or you need THOSE 3 cards?

Not completely, but as you can see in the video, a LOT of the card is shown.
And no, no free choice, but you can make it look like it is.

It's still a very good trick, but still with his pro and cons...
of course you can show everything but not one corner, and you can clean up as well...
i knew this version already then, just didn't remember
