Overview
The Three Card Monte, how different can they all be? That’s what I thought when I received Bammo Monte Monster by Bob Farmer. Bammo Monte Monster changed my impression on (A) how the same trick can be redesigned and rethought to make it completely different than what everyone thinks and (B) how properly written and photographed instructions can compete in the day of video instruction.Effect
The performer takes out three cards, two black aces and a red ace. The cards proceed to change places several times with no apparent movement, turn upside down, change places with even other even though one was removed from the packet, all turn to black aces, all turn to red aces and finally restore themselves to the condition when first started.Method
The method utilizes 2 Monte style cards which are mis-piped and one normal ace. The beauty in the routine is the arrangement of the handling procedures which takes you from one phase to the next seamlessly. There are seven phases to this Monte effect the not only looks amazing but leaves you already reset to perform again. That is a lot of mileage from only three cards.Product Quality
The cards are Bicycle brand cards so there are no quality issues there. The instructions are twenty 8” x 11.5” pages of photographs showing each and every necessary movement with very tightly edited text to make the handling crystal clear. I would go out on a limb and say that I was so impressed with the layout of the instructional sheet that it would rival any video. Although the photos were black and white, there is no question on how to hold the cards and what the move was. What was nice about the still photo is that you can focus on the image unlike trying to “freeze” a video to see what is being explained.Ad Copy Integrity
The ad copy is as stated which is this is probably the involved Monte I saw without is seeming repetitive.(Top ▲)
The fertile mind of Bob Farmer has yielded yet another fine piece of magic. A Monte routine that is perfect for the magician on the go. Read the ad copy. It is perfect for walk around. It can be done surrounded. It resets automatically and it is fairly easy to do. You get a wonderfully produced set of instructions and three specially made Bicycle backed playing cards. If you are into Three Card Monte routines and have been looking for an in the hands version, look no further. Bammo Monte Monster delivers!
