You openly display four cards (three Aces of Diamonds and an Ace of Clubs). You then ask the spectator to follow the black Ace. To make things easier for the spectator, you remove one of the red aces and set it aside, face down on the table. You show the remaining cards (two red Aces and a black Ace) in your hands. Next, the black Ace is put between the other two red Aces. The spectator fails to follow the black Ace because when the three cards are shown, they're ALL RED ACES and the black Ace is now on the table! The entire routine is repeated-but again the spectator cannot follow the Black Ace because it has ended up back on the table!! Now for the best part! The third time the spectator guesses the black Ace is on the table, but it's really a red ace... and the other three red ace cards are now ALL BLACK ACES!

Overview
Two card Montes, three card Montes, four card Montes, Royal Montes, Riveted Montes….there are enough card Monte tricks to satisfy a Monte enthusiast. Australian Aces by Nick Trost is yet another Monte routine. What makes this Monte different than many others? Australian Monte is probably one of the slowest and fairest Monte effects I have seen.Effect
Four cards are displayed which are three Ace of Diamonds and one Ace of Clubs. One Ace of Diamonds is clearly and slowly laid face down on the table. The remaining cards are slowly and clearly mixed and the spectator just has to find the Ace of Clubs. If course it is not in the hand but now on the table. This procedure is done once again fairly and slowly, and again the Ace of Clubs leaves the packet and id face down on the table. A third attempt is offered, and not to be fooled again they say the Ace of Clubs must surely be face down. This is Australian Monte though and the card which is face down on the table is the Ace of Diamonds. Had they picked any of the cards in the hand they all would have been the Ace of Clubs.Method
The method requires, like most Monte effects, some gimmicked cards. Also as in any Monte effect, the steps need to be followed sequentially but the handling is so gosh darn easy and slow, there seems to be no way you could be switching cards out. Unlike many Monte effects that require fast paced turns and fast talking, you can perform this for just about anyone and it can easily be followed.Product Quality
The cards are Bicycle cards so there are no quality issues there. Like any new Murphy’s release, the filming, lighting and sound of the downloadable instructions is excellent. The video lasts a little over 16 minutes and the instructional is paced very well. There is absolutely nothing to question as they go step by step. The performance of the trick is not included and you would have to refer to the trailer to get an idea of what the presentation will look like.Ad Copy Integrity
The ad copy is always very accurate. I have the original version by L & L and it came with a small booklet as directions. I have to say, although I am a magic book collector and love learning through books, video instructions are very welcome indeed. This is a very nice routine and for someone who would like to do a Monte effect without looking like a hustler, Australian Aces is for you.(Top ▲)

Nick Trost's Australian Aces is quite possibly the best monte on the market!

Effect
It's once great Monte trick in which you explain how you got scammed and how every time you point to the money card you are wrong. The cards are so clearly 3 red Aces and 1 black Ace. And after watching the cards be shown and fanned, all the red cards turn into all black cards.It's great!
Method
With the help of some USPCC gaffed cards and the slightest move, you will be able to fool the hell out of them. Its so visual and fooling!Product Quality
Excellent quality gaffs and excellent 15 minute instructional video taught by Murphy's Magic's Javier Fuenmayor. With a watch or two of the instructional video and 10 minutes of practice you will have this down!You need a table. You cannot hand out the cards and they can not be displayed 100%
For $10 bucks, this is a grand slam!
