Brilliant show and tell. I wish I had seen this before I was ripped off. (Only once). It would be great to see this kind of demo, with the cards face up! Thanks on behalf of those that will not be ripped off, due to your kind video!!
Some people think that knowing how a card trick is done is all there is to it. They might not appreciate the many hours of dedicated practice required to make it work until they try. Thanks for posting this example of dexterity, legerdemain and prestidigitation.
Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"
Many people make separate tutorials for the moves involved in a trick, and that's kinda frustrating, because you don't connect the moves up in the right way for _that_ particular trick. But Tom, thanks a lot for not doing so. We cherish this so much. Thank you 🙏

Just wanted to let you know: Thanks to your video, I learned this trick within a couple of days of practice and people LOVE it. It's amazing to see the surprise and disbelief on their face :D Keep up making these amazing tutorial videos, please!
I performed illusions and a stage show for many years, yet my favorite tricks of all time are still Color Monte and the classic Sucker Die Box. Like you, I've ruined more than my fair share of cards, or simply wore the ink off. Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing !
yes they are, 'shills' is what they used to be called and 'shills' are what they are today...and they are more common than most realize, they are still used in vegas even, to drum up activity on slow nights at the tables
This video is 7 years old at this point in time but I still think it is fantastic. I recently bought the Mo Monte trick and did it on my channel but I still want to incorporate your version separately with the plain playing cards. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial
I'm sorry I'm two years too late in saying this, but I love everything about this video. The routine is awesome, the presentation is perfect, and the tutorial is super well explained. Plus I'm glad you showed how to do a double lift. Believe it or not, I cannot do a proper double lift. But I'll practice super hard just to be able to perform this trick. Thanks for the video and for helping me out.
Lovely calm and natural slight of hand. Practice practice practice. But the tutorial was really spot on, that very few can do with all the practice in the world. Really great to watch. Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial! I've been trying to learn it myself. I use an ace and two others, lay them all out, and then mix them, and have my audience (quote unquote) try and guess. Then I say, "okay I'll make this easier. I'm gonna take out one of not- ace cards. Then, using sleight of hand, I make it look like I took out a not-ace card, but actually I take out the ace. THIS TUTORIAL VERSION IS MUCH BETTER
Before people are able to comment they should first have to complete basic English literature. Him buying all those packs w/ money he won from this game is not a “plot twist”. Learn your literary devices
It amazes me not only the tricks but that it took many years for people to create and perfect these techniques. Then to see them improved upon through the years is even more amazing. But some things never change and remain timeless classics. I love magic. Nice tutorial.
3:10 - What I find really clever and amazing is that the hidden card is always right there on the table. I'm keen to see how the spectator can examine the cards afterwards, though.
Awesome trick! I love the way you presented it at the beginning. Well done routine. It was NOT a Cheesy presentation; Perfect personality for the presentation!
Thank you-- a great, generous post. ..I always thought the "broadtossing" way of 3 card monte (as done on the streets, with the deceptive toss) was the superior monte version-- nothing came close, except that it was designed as a scam and has never been well adapted for performance purposes. This is better, plus you have good patter. , It didn't take me too long to learn the second sleight whereby you represent the bottom card as the top (your invention)? I will enjoy practicing the routine as I watch "A Big Hand for a LIttle Lady" (one of my top five Poker movies). Best
At first I was "Not another 3 card Monte routine" but I clicked anyway because of the angle of the camera. I thought just maybe itd be a new routine. Glad I watched. Not the typical Monte sleight throw and I even learned a new bottom double-lift.
Great tutorial. I am using this video to learn your trick just for fun. I've never tried any magic tricks before. I am comfortable with the double lift now but the slide is tough. You do it so comfortably. I will be practicing this trick for the rest of my life. Thank you for the video.
This trick takes time to get down, but once you do...even if they have an inkling as to how it is done. a well performed routine will impress almost anyone.
Saw this on the streets of Philadelphia as a young kid in the late 70s - couldn't figure out what these guys who looked like they were playing cards with only 3 cards on an overturned cardboard box were doing - and then they would fold up the box and run off in separate directions. My old man explained to me what it was after I asked him why they were playing blackjack on a cardboard box using the same 3 cards every time.
The red-back version uses the 5 of diamonds for the sucker reveal at the end. The video fades out briefly at 8:49, and that is probably where the 5 of diamonds gets switched out and the $14 card gets switched in for the second sucker reveal.
Neat. Nice and clean. Three Card Monty is a name that’s been around for as long as I can remember but I didn’t realize that I’ve known this trick for over 20 years now. When I was at app state in the early 90s, there was a man named George Vaughan who was a retired stage magician that had a magic shop near Tweetsie railroad that was called the Scorpions Den. I bought this from him and learned it, but we had always called it “Probably, Definitely“. It started with, “This card is Probably not your card… and this card is also probably not your card… But this card is DEFINITELY not your card.” The cards had regular Bicycle backs but the faces were white except the script “This is PROBABLY not your card” highlighted in yellow, ”This is DEFINITELY not your card” highlighted in red, and the last one of course “This IS you card!” highlighted in green. It was a wonderful trick but I never thought to use regular cards. 😂 Wonderfully done! Thank you!!
I've performed Color Monte this way for many, many years. I actually suggest buying a copy of Color Monte, then discarding the two colored diamond cards. Keep the $14 card and use a Joker and Ace of Spades as Tom does. Then, you can use the same "you owe me a dollar" patter, concluding with the double or nothing offer like the original routine. I find this has more punch than the original Color Monte or using three standard cards from the deck (although I'll use Tom's method as an impromptu option if I don't have a $14 card with me :-) ).
46 years ago I was in basic training in the Army and some guy in our unit took every last dollar from a new recruit using this card trick. He offered the guy the chance to win all of his money back by betting his wrist watch. You guessed it, the guy lost his wrist watch too.
I, too, bought the color monte a long time back. Ended up using regular cards, ending with a heart, a club, and a king... "I want you to have a heart, and join the club, because I am the 'king' of card tricks."
Was given two beautiful felt card mats the other day and it inspired me to really get going on the tricks again, to my amazement I have got this trick sorted, no where near as slick as the main man Tom Matriq but I am getting there. So thanks for the tutorial, well presented and it really helped my to finally figure it out. Really happy...
I love Color Monte and your presentation was dead on. It has a great script. The original script does start "a man walked up to me and said 'How'd you like to make some money?'" I then am demonstrating how I got taken. Your presentation turns it around and then you become the bad guy. The double lift can reveal the second. I usually do it with thumb and forefinger at the edges. Not as elegant as a real double lift. The Color Monte cards are easy to follow and the reveal at the end (You owe me $14), I think, is more fun. Worth the $7 or so.
Thanks, for the double lift show in minute 6:38 with upper card and bottom card. I see this video before when you explain it, but sometimes I review again in order to learn more about your tricks. Thanks, again!
this is a beautiful piece of magic. I actually learned this way way back by watching the original '3 card money' video again and again. it has always been my favorite piece to perform Thank you very much
I just watched Richard Turner , then Michael Vincent do this trick. You are as smooth as them. After your explanation my respect for all three of you has just grown even further. Thank you very much.
Excellent tutorial. I own classic Color Monte which came with an instructional video, but your explantion is better and your routine and handling is smoother. Thanks!
This is a great tutorial, but I have a question. When you give the person a chance to try and find the ace, what should I do if they choose the middle card right after guessing the bottom card?
You don't do this to an actual person. You perform this as a monologue about "that one time you were tricked" so that you control the narrative and which cards you reveal.
@@ibrahimhakkiuslu sure! This magic trick is more of a story that you tell. You're telling a made-up story of a time that someone tricked you. You're using that story to trick the audience, but the audience is essentially just listening to the story - they will never pick any cards because they are only listening and won't be interacting with you directly or doing any of the things that you're talking about. Hope that makes sense!
By no means the best way, but one that works for me, you lift the top card off, and place it on the bottom, and say something like "so this is the card you've chosen" about the new top card. Then double lift that and the card below it, which should be the joker. Flip both back over, and place the old top card back on the top from the bottom, and claim it's "not to confuse them about which cards they've already picked". Then, carry on as usual.
Can someone please explain what to do when: 1. The spectator says it's at the bottom, okay no problem but 2. What if the second time, instead of saying it's on the top, he says it's in the middle, what do I do in that case??
I have one deck of magic cards with me and they require no skill at all to do some pretty amazing tricks. And they work for any card pulled from the deck. Well worth the money I paid.
Question: When you show the Ace is on top, and then double-lift it to the bottom showing the joker. What if their next guess is that of the Ace being in the middle? How do you get the joker from the bottom to the middle, lol? There is no move for that here.
garytheprophet when you’re doing the magic trick you’re gonna be walking the person through the story and not actually ask them, it’s only the case for the last question
Hi Tom, Thnx for this amazing routine. It's very powerful, you perform it a wonderful way and the story is funny. I like it all very much. Though, something bothers me : Top Slide (1:25 and 8:42 in the video) may seem strange from the spectator's point of view. He could wonder why we show the "top" card this weird way instead of just lifting it as usual. When watching your performance, I couldn't figure out what you were doing, but I felt there was a kind of sleight of hand at this very moment. Have you any improvement in sight ? Thnx again :-))
3 card Monty cards are usually folded up like tent. I lived in NYC in the 1980's and watched these performances for hours trying to figure it out. I never bet any money because the hand is faster than the brain.
Quick question, what should I do if people try to get smart and say the card is in the middle? It really is in the middle so what should I do in that situation?
DrNotJC well no, not true at all. When he says he's putting the ace to the bottom and your spectator says it's on the top, you'll either have to show the indifferent card or the ace. You can't flip all three cards...
Relearning so i can reagain memory and heal from trauma.... Best video for me to follow yet! Bless you for making it. 👍 Still regain read / write too sorry if misspell...
@@takacstamaspatrick3706 they are not guessing actually he isnt waiting for an answer. Its a story and the moves go with it as a similar pattern every time

Super good presentation.
Tom - Very smooth hand control. Clearly not your first day at the circus tent. Seen lots of people do this, but yours was quite convincing and smooth.
thank you thank you thank you.
Excellent
Hi Tom,
Thnx for this amazing routine. It's very powerful, you perform it a wonderful way and the story is funny. I like it all very much.
Though, something bothers me : Top Slide (1:25 and 8:42 in the video) may seem strange from the spectator's point of view. He could wonder why we show the "top" card this weird way instead of just lifting it as usual. When watching your performance, I couldn't figure out what you were doing, but I felt there was a kind of sleight of hand at this very moment.
Have you any improvement in sight ?
Thnx again :-))
The idea is to hasten the guy so he doesn’t notice it much that’s where the story comes in for more distraction
It would be nice to be able to perform that move from the side like the double move. I’ve been practicing that, but it’s pretty difficult
3 card Monty cards are usually folded up like tent. I lived in NYC in the 1980's and watched these performances for hours trying to figure it out. I never bet any money because the hand is faster than the brain.
Just had this happen to me in middle of Walmart got me for everything:..
ughh me too
I watched this done on the street. The dealer's shill wins every time BUT when a tourist plays he will lose! I never played this or the shell game! ☺
What if after 1:47, they said there's gotta be one in the bottom, how do we counter this?
You would have to do a top slide and say that it was at the top and say they were wrong
Quick question, what should I do if people try to get smart and say the card is in the middle? It really is in the middle so what should I do in that situation?
You take a knife
what if the person asks a different question which is right?
Metreator 79 you would just apply the appropriate lift. The cards never change position.

WRONG, YOU OWE ME A DOLLAR!
DrNotJC well no, not true at all. When he says he's putting the ace to the bottom and your spectator says it's on the top, you'll either have to show the indifferent card or the ace. You can't flip all three cards...
Thanks for the insight to this wonderful three cards monty trick. I am always fascinated by it....
And that's how you make a tutorial video! Wait a minute, how did you do that at the end? I know, you started with 5 cards.
If nothing is photo shopped this is the best I've seen up close.
Who's here after watching Dave Chapelle's story ?
😂😂
I'm like you, "Color Monte" was one of my 1st & favorite effects. Your version is very good, thanx for sharing
I replayed your Video.. At first I owe you 14 dollars.. 2nd We're even and the 3rd I owe you 7 dollars.. hehezz
Relearning so i can reagain memory and heal from trauma....
Best video for me to follow yet!
Bless you for making it.
👍
Still regain read / write too sorry if misspell...
Player1: Have a guess.
Player2: Show me all of the three cards.
Player1 has left the chatroom.
hahahahaha
superb explanation... not a wasted syllable... not a remaining question.
For the second move what if they guess the middle card
Idk, i'm scrolling through comments to see the answer but i can't find one, this trick is not as good as i thought
@@takacstamaspatrick3706 they are not guessing actually he isnt waiting for an answer. Its a story and the moves go with it as a similar pattern every time
Most people don't have this many deck of cards.. everyone's dream😍
holy shit! where did that 14$ card come from?
no wonder all magicians work in vegas, they love the casino tables!
Wrong you owe me a dollar
