Fade

I had previously purchased Chris Mayhew's CAANDY effect and was very impressed with the brilliance of this author, so I wanted to try this new creation of his as well. Expectations were repaid and this routine turned out to be very nice to perform for friends or during a show. Once you learn the setup, the maneuvers take some practice, but nothing an amateur magician can't master in a couple of weeks. I also enjoyed the "Lazy rise" move, I will definitely reuse it in other routines!

Super deceptive, the movements are so small that it makes it all seem that much more fair. Love it!

Great

I'm really torn with this trick. This routine is so fooling and gets great reactions, but you need to set up the deck entirely. You'll have to carry around another deck just to perform this trick. If that isn't a problem for you, then you have to pick this up. However, for the price right now you should definitely pick it up because you also learn a cool sleight

Great tutorial nothing negative to say

For the longest time, David Blaine's three card monte was my favorite but I think that has just changed. This effect is so awesome and it just takes about a week of practicing the routine 6 or 7 times a day to have it down comfortably. 5 stars for me!

This is one of my favourite routines. It has multiple phases that are all baffling. The sleights involved aren't incredibly difficult but with Chris' detailed instruction and some practise you'll have them down in no time. I've been waiting a while to buy this but I am glad that I did.

Really good if you are dedicated. Not for someone who wants an easy self working pick up. The set up is complicated, which means this cannot be done on the fly. Not an effect for when someone says "Show me a trick!". However, this is a great opener as it is very intimate and audience involved. A great way to grab someone's interest. And, as if all that is not good enough, you end clean.

Best monte routine ever.Takes a little practice to get the order down but it is worth the practice.Add to cart,what are you waiting for!!!

Definitely not so difficult. It uses one move and in my opinion it's simple and easy, just a little bit of practice, obviously, but not so difficult. Nice effect.

This is hands down my favorite monte routine!!! The reactions you get are amazing especially because each move you do makes the trick even more impossible than it was before. There are many gimmicked monte routines that don't even come close to this one. Get it now!!
The only reason I made this four stars is because if the deck isn't squared up then it can be angle risky.

This is a great lesson in how to structure a routine, it flows very well and for one effect you get a lot of magic. Chris is one of my favorite magicians to watch. Unfortunately there are some small angle issues, the set up is big and the sleights are fairly advanced. You don't need a table which is a big plus, and Chris's performance deserves 10 stars but the actual effect I'm going to give 4 stars, if it was more impromptu and easier to do I would give it a higher rating. If you can learn it and put in the time this is a really great routine.

Astounding! One surprise after another, probably one of my favorite card effects to perform.

Very tough trick but when given enough practice it is a great effect and well worth the money

This effect is ssoooooooo cool, don't hesitate

Previous to my other review, I'd like to add that this effect DOES take some practice and the move that you need to do is a little hard. It's kind of complicated but if you like what you see then get it.

wow great buy. only 9 dollars for an amazing trick that is easy to learn. i especially love how good chris is at teaching. once youve got the order down ull be ready to prefrom in no time

This is the smoothest three card monte effect that I've seen in a long time. You will need to practice this one for a few hours to master. I would rate this beginner to intermediate level. There are quite a few steps, but nothing highly challenging. I have gotten some great reactions to this one. The education provided here is top notch...well detailed. I would pick it up again in a hurry. The price is a bargain for sure. Top 3 favorites from Ellusionist.

Really cool and fun effect. Good to learn some new sleights also.

Easily the best effect that I've seen in a long time

Great trick easy to learn and a great trick to perform

Ok effect. You learn a great sleight but I will never use this trick. It is to inconvenient for me. The sleight is good and deceptive but not very practical except for this trick

This is an absolutely amazing effect I won't say that you need previous experience in magic but be ready to learn a knacky move in order to achieve this monte I have big enough fingers and just enough hand strength to make this possible. This is a very stron effect so practice practice and it WILL pay off. Very fun great job Chris!

This trick has a very powerful effect and is pretty angle friendly, but you must master the routine and have a good script. Otherwise the trick will not mystify the audience enough.

This trick is one get trick to preform and will guarantee amazement to your crowd. And that ending will leave your spectators and skeptics both astonished. However, every time I do this I panic since the repeated response I get is, "do that again." Since this is a one-time-only trick I have no idea what to say and so I would not recommend this to anyone who doesn't do well in that situation. Otherwise this is one of the most amazing monte's that I have ever seen.

This trick is not for anyone this is a difficult trick must know previous knowledge of magic and slites to obtain this trick

this is a crazy trick! I was lucky to have big enough hands for the trick itself. I have been doing magic for almost a year now, and I have got to say, this is the best card trick I have ever performed. The tutorial was so good I perfected it in a day! Its great! It is really worth the price. :)

This is a MULTI-layered trick that thrills to the very end.

POSITIVES:
1. This card trick has layer after layer of Magic, your audience will not catch on because reality keeps changing throughout the whole piece with a GRAND FINALE at the end.
2. You will learn several utility moves that you can employ elsewhere.
3. Price is right for the complexity of the trick
4. Fairly easy to learn, I was performing it seamlessly within 2 hours.
5. Awesome color change.
6. Chris is a great teacher.

CONS:
NONE, if you are into legit card tricks than go buy this TODAY!

NOTES:
I had no problem with the handling of the "move" like some reviews have stated (and I have medium size hands). It just takes practice.

This Monte is "worth the payoff" as Chris says. He was made to be on camera. With just enough humor to entertain, he teaches this routine clearly and succinctly. He expresses himself so well that it's a real pleasure learning this from him. More than just teaching well, he developed a great routine here that I'm very confident is going to make a lot of spectators smile, nod their heads, and generally go about their business wondering how in the world you just did that. Some might just freak out entirely! He incorporated a great move that he came up with, that puts this routine well within the hands of nearly everybody. And the color change seals the deal! Well done Chris. I'm very happy I learned this from you.

It makes people revel about how it works. Amazing

The Trick itself is wonderful, the reveals and the kicks are great, and the overall effect will leave the audience breathless. That being said, it is extremely difficult for someone like me to perform this trick outright. I have a "goofy" grip, or in other terms I use my right hand to grip the deck, unlike most who use their left. Some personal modifications have to be made to the routine to accommodate my grip style. But with practice, it can be done.

this trick is a great trick that is really easy to learn, i am not an expert magician but i managed to the learn the trick in under an hour and the trick really amazes people. buy it now
