Hello,
Does anyone have any experience of the MONTE CRISTO DECK ?
Regards,
Piers.

Yes - I saw a demo earlier this year at a lecture by Mark Paul and it was a very cunning routine.

These decks are difficult to get hold of........... particularly in Bike stock.

What do you want to know?

I’ve heard they are good and have been intrigued by what one could so with, one of these decks.

I think ‘cards by martin’ sell them…

Piers.

The deck is first fanned to show all of the cards as being different. You then force a card using a corner riffle with the spec saying STOP anywhere he/she likes. You then use your favorite method of producing the force card.

With the right method you can get the spec to hold the deck and get them to riffle and stop where they want which makes the force seem very natural.

ok now i finally know what this deck is about. i was still confused with this and the mindpower deck a while ago. how dumb..

I reviewed this deck http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic5729.php&highlight=monte+christo but I spelt cristo with an h, not sure which is right, never mind. [/url]

This deck will be available (soon) again!

There you can find a free! download with routines.
They are good for the recently published Mastermind Deck too.

Have fun.

I first came across these in my first proper magic book - "What's New in Magic" by Walter Gibson. He comments that the MC deck largely fell out of favour with the invention of the Svengali and other mechanical packs, but he gives a routine specifically designed for it.

If you can't find his book (I know it's in the Magic Circle library) "Easy Magic" by Karl Fulves has a similar effect with a normal pack - from which you could easily work out the MC version.
