Hello. I'm not sure I'm at the right place, but I would like to know if someones tried
Kickback Monte and Howards Hustle Trick (available at magicsmith I think.)
Should I get them?
Another question, does anyone know a monte game where the cards can be examined at the end? (except the real "legit" three card monte, of course).
Thank you, have a nice day

"Color Monte" can be examined at the end but you need to be able to pull off a few different sleights to perform it. If you want to use cards that can't be examined, rehearse VERY THOROUGHLY the very end of the trick when you take the stuff away and ditch it. Be able to look them in the eye and say something while your picking up. I nod my head and say, "...here's something that you might find interesting..." boom - next trick.

I perform Frank Skinner's Ultimate Monte which is an awesome effect. At the end I reach in my pocket for the packet and switch the gaffed cards for an identical set of non gaffed cards. The switch is very easy to accomplish and I then either put the cards away,or let them be examined or go into another routine which involves an ungaffed A,2,3. It's beautiful.
