Funniest way to fool everyone

Really easy and funny to perform. After a few practice you can easily fool your audience in every place and in every situations. I really enjoy it and, for me, is really funny to perform

Monte never gets old.

As a fan of all things monte, this did not disappoint. Great content, detailed, and in depth. The layman always loves anything gambling or scam related, and monte always impresses. 🔥

2 card Monte review

2 card Monte which made David Blaine famous
gets the most jaw dropping results.
How to perform it is thoroughly shown and discussed, including little subtlties.
It requires a lot of practice, but it is WORTH your time! People are just BLOWN AWAY, when they see what they’re holding!
I personally perform it using 2 red back blank cards, rather than Queens.
The reactions are even stronger!
Great tutorial…Spend the time to master it.

Fun routine

Only gave a 4 star for people to read. It’s awesome an worth it. Very straight to the point

Great trick!

This trick ticks all the boxes: very strong magic with a big surprise, totally impromptu with a borrowed deck, can be done surrounded. Will take some work but definitely worth it.

Good straightforward instruction. Requires a bold slight

Requires a bold slight that is very well taught, however for someone new to card magic or magic in general this slight might be intimidating. Not a reason to avoid buying the trick, just think it's worth knowing. It's rated as EASY which of course is a very subjective word. I'ld clarify it to add if you know how to do a double lift this is within your range. If your brand new to card magic or just starting out in magic you might want to learn some basic slights first to build your confidence before you take on this trick.

The video instructions are great. Short and to the point. I found it very easy to follow along.

Great tutorial

I love this effect, and the tutorial is excellent. For a beginner, it might even be achievable with a bit of practice, and will be a great reason to learn a couple of important sleights.

2 card monte

A fundamentally simple yet devious trick. Works well with a small crowd. Make sure to have good audience control.

Prayers have been answered

Thank you so much for this tutorial for two card monte.
The video broke it down nicely and made it easy to learn.
After watching and practicing, I then watched Ellusionists Kard Klub on Magic Stream for more ideas.

Great portable trick

The trick is not for those frightened of working on their sleights, but once mastered this will be forever in your repertoire. Its structure is simple but its impact is spectacular. I am am currently working on getting this mastered, and as it finishes clean, its impact is doubled...

Simple and powerful

Still practicing the move but loving it a lot. The instructions are simple and clear. 100% worth it.

Illusionist review

I have used illusionist since I started out on magic 8 years ago, the customer service is excellent and the product are top quality, would always recommend them to my other friends within the magic community.The 2 card monte is a brilliant take on a classic trick which is now in My reportoire.

Great instruction for a classic..

This trick is popular for a reason. I knew how to do it, but I've learned it from a few people a few different ways. Just curious on E's take. Turns out the way being taught here uses a pinky count. Luckily, there's a bonus video from Adam Wilber on how to do that properly, which is makes the download cost a bargain. I'd recommend this one.

2C Monte Awakened Insight

The trick itself is simple but genius - the real awakening came for the insights and mechanics that were so clearly shown so that they can be practised - bringing an opportunity to enlarge my currently small repertoire.

What a great introduction to magic

I’ve always been a follower of magic, but ever since I found Ellusionist, now I see behind the tricks and it’s like falling in love all over again. 2 card monte is simple, devious, and devastating for the participant and crowd. All that for $10? Stop thinking about it and hit the button already.

2 Card Monte

This is the trick that made David Blaine famous! And the intricacies of it are easy enough in this tutorial. I’ve pretty much an experienced novice, but this trick is surprisingly fooling. It taught me that most spectators want to be fooled!

I bought this a long time ago and has been the trick I use the most because of the simplicity and the ability to perform it from any angle or size group.
