Complete instructions for performing the legendary Three Card Monte street hustle with regular cards!

No gimmicks -- the real deal!

This sensational expose of Three Card Monte is the first authentic explanation of the actual method used for years by Dick Jacobs, acknowledged to be one of the three greatest Monte men ever.

Contains the original sleight of hand method that heretofore involved personal instruction owing to subtleties of the presentation. However, with the aid of numerous line drawings by world-famous artist Nelson Hahne, every move is presented clearly and precisely.

Furthermore, the most difficult part of the effect—the psychological handling of the spectators—has been developed simply and concisely.

This effect is unquestionably one of the greatest ever known for arousing and holding spectator interest. As an "ice-breaker" it is unexcelled in instantly creating unlimited entertainment and discussion.

It's not an exaggeration to say that even one acquainted with the secret will find it impossible to follow the cards.

The performer shows a black ace and two red cards. The three cards are placed face down on the table and the spectators, try as they will, find it impossible to pick the ace. Once more, the ace is shown and placed face down on the table and on either side of it are placed the two red cards, showing them one at a time. The cards are not moved, once they are placed on the table. The audience, this time sure of itself, again picks—a red card.

Again the trick is repeated, and the "smart" spectators discover something. One corner on the ace is bent and they find that by looking for the bent corner they can always pick the ace. Yes, always until suddenly upon turning it over they find a red card.

Sold for entertainment purposes only. Not to be used for any illegal purpose.

Magic World revised and expanded edition features two added chapters and numerous corrections and edits to make the method easier to comprehend than ever before.
