I don't know if this one has been posted before, but for those who hasn't seen this yet:

Now, this is no camera edit thingy, just for clarification.

That was fantastic. I had to watch it twice to catch the move!

I've watched this six times and cannot catch the move. . . I think I may have the first move figured, but where the heck that ace goes is facinating me! haha

(P.S. I realise this is bumping an old thread, but would love to learn this move!)

I'm not as good as you, had to watch it at least 4 times before I caught it. But even if he is doing it the way I think, it is pretty awesome to pull it off without anyone seeing.

Anyone know where I could find this routine or is it something that the guy has created himself? Pieced together from a few tricks maybe...?

certainly gives you ideas about colour backs as well, probably not the method, but its something else perhaps.

I like it! I got it fairly quickly due to the handling but only because it is on video. If I had been there watching it, I think it would have taken longer.

I might have to give this a try. Resetting should be fairly easy too.

Great move, nice handling. Shame you probably couldn't do this for too many people around you, but it would be a good table hopping effect for a few people. I'm quite partial to 3 Card Monte effects, and that was a nice little presentation. I might have to steal that mixing process with the one of the cards left face up. Nice comedy touch.

Good work Mr Spanish guy.

That is a nice routine isn't it. If I have understood it, I think the giveaway may be the difference in the way he picks up the cards at the beginning and end.

Managed to get this complete trick on ebay, the Three Card Monte 2000 by Harry Evans, for £2.99 delivered. Quite pleased with that!
