Effect Description (taken from packaging)
Starting with a bang, the effect builds to a killer climax, After a very clean transposition of a red ace and a black two -- happening right on a spectator's hand -- you'll be holding three cards face down. Though the audience will be convinced that these are a red ace and a pair of black twos, they will actually be three red aces, and you'll be able to deal these directly onto the spectator's hand. No extra cards. No cards stuck together. All fully examinable. And when you put the cards back into your breast pocket you'll be completely reset.

Even though no complicated sleight of hand is required, the lavishly photo-illlustrated instructions will guide you through every moment of the brief routine. It's like having Gordon right there, alongside you, teaching you in person.

Review
This is a nice monte effect: very easy to do with the great climax of ending with three money cards. Although it is much shorter (although with suitable patter and presentation you can make it last 2 minutes) than similar effects on the market (e.g. Garrett Thomas' Stand Up Monte), the fact that you are left clean at the end of the routine makes this routine stand out: the spectator can examine the three money cards. The fact that you do not need a table and it resets instantly means it's great for walkaround. The gimmick is well made and as usual, the cards are printed on Bicyle Stock. Even though the routine is practically self working, the instructions are very detailed (over 70 pictures) and full patter and presentation is given.

Overall
A very good Monte effect: great for novices and profesionals alike. Although it's a tiny bit more expensive than other montes, the fact that you end clean makes this stand out among other monte effects.
