Hi,
I'm looking for a great find the lady routine for restaurant work.
Preferably a standing/in hand Find the lady with an astonishing kicker ending!

Any suggestions!?

Hi Joel. Ultimonte by Harold Cataquet would fit your criteria. It has a couple of phases and a kicker finish.

Seconded! While I really like Skinners ultimate monte, colour monte is quick to the point and never disapoints.

Paul Gordon's Corner of Picadilliy, has a lovely finish.

I have had this for about a year and struggled to get it off properly. It utilises a set of "vintage" cards supplied with it.

I have smallish hands and the cards are a bit over the normal length. I realised eventually that I was struggling becuase of the card size and I started using ordinary bikes.

It is a nice effect, typical Paul Gordon and it plays very well.

Skinner's Monte, as suggested.

Bonneteau - on David Stone's DVD - but I do that, so maybe you should do Skinners. :wink:

Someone who's too lazy to post tells me there's one in Scarne

I like Corner of Picadilly too - though it does need a top pocket...

BTW - the newer versions use normal poker size 'antique' cards which are also slightly heavier stock than the 'long' version and are easier to use.

The combination of the shorter cards and heavier stock are exactly what I needed. Damn!

Yes, my Corner of Piccadilly (see www.paulgordon.net/shop.html for info/video dem) now uses antique-looking poker-size cards. I also perform it on my new 2-DVD set, Blockbusters With Cards.

David Regal said in Genii, "If ever there was a worker, C.O.P is it!"

Thanks, Paul Gordon
