I think card montes is one of the most interesting types of magic, they're impromptu (most of the time anyway), usually rather simple to perform and can give the magician a good chance to practice some misdirection and patter, and with a nice presentation they can leave a big impression on the audience.

So, what is your favorite card monte? Either a special technique that you like, a full routine or perhaps just some way to present it that makes it more interesting.

2 card monte is good for up-close and personal, and if your in a hurry because it doesn't take that long.

ilike three card monte's as well because tehy can be turned into a full routine.

Totally agree

I also do 3 card Monte the proper one not the one with the gimmicked cards, buts thats not really a magic trick

i only do the proper one. monte's aren't magic, and i don't try to make them that it's simply entertainment and i believe you can achieve the same reactions with un-gimmicked cards as gimmicked cards.

2 Card Monte I like to do but I have done it to much around my family so I can only do it to Me, myself, and I.
