I saw this one done a shop once and didnt really like the effect personally, the handling is kinda odd.But it did have a good effect on the rest of the people. I guess it depends on how long youve been doing magic. Id go with the real version if youve been doing magic for a while. But it is a good trick for. Have fun.

This is Michael Skinner's 'Ultimate Monte' which is probably one of the best and easiest packet tricks ever-no sleights needed. The gaffed cards do it all and at the end of the routine I usually put my hand in my pocket to find the packet and exchange the gaffed cards for matching 'straight' cards to fool the spectators who say 'let me see those cards' It works like a dream every time!

Michael Skinner's
Ultimate 3 Card Monte trick
No Sleight-of -Hand!
Fools Everybody!
Special Cards Included
Ultimate is as good as it gets!
Michael Skinner is a legendary figure in the magic world. His sleight-of-hand card magic repertoire is the largest of any working performer. But, what trick do you think he has featured for over fifteen years while working at the world famous Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas? That's right! This one. The Ultimate 3 Card Monte!
The real surprise is that this pet effect of his is self-working! In one evening you can master Michael's version of this classic card swindle without resorting to sleight-of-hand! Everything (but a short amount of your time) is included in this package--professionally illustrated instructions, original patter, and the specially constructed cards that make it all possible!

Hi Trevor, Don beat me to it! You can get the cards only (no instructions) printed on Bicycles ay $10 from Magic Smith or you can get the Michael Ammar Icebreakers video and Michael Skinner's Ultimate Monte set is included as a bonus with a great teach-in by Michael Ammar. This is the option I'd recommend but I'm not sure where the video is currently available. Good luck.
