If you are a fan of packet tricks then this is a must for you! This is my favorite packet effect by far. The sleights used are no more than any beginner should know, so in saying that this is a good trick for a beginner and for a novice or pro, you can do wonders.
The effect is a simple monte based trick with a suprise ending, but it uses "special" cards. They are not gimmicked they are just not from a regular deck of Bikes. They have big shiney diamonds on them so the spectator can definatly see the difference in the cards color. Hence the name Color Monte. So basically this is an all sleight of hand and patter trick.
The cost is a mere $4.50 so it is very affordable, and still with its meger price it is a wonderful trick. I feel that the price alone is worth it, not to mention that it will leave your spectators doing the "what the..." thing.
I would rate the slieghts, because they are basic and should be known as a 2 on the five scale, 2 because one move is different and pretty unique to this trick. The move is just a variation of a very common sleight, so 2 is what this gets.
Over all with the price being so low and the sleights being really simple, I would rate this trick 7 or 8 out of 10. Why so low, if I like it so much? Well, because you most definatly cannot show this trick twice to the same person. It is only a suprise ending once, but that once is all you need to make this trick a wonderful addition to any magician's arsenal.

Good luck!
