This is one of the cleanest, in depth and practical videos on magic tricks . Thank you

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.

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!

"What if they say a different location?"... Here is the answer by user (youschtube)…

"The patter isn't interactive with the audience! He isn't asking anyone to guess, then waiting for the answer. The patter simply accompanies the actions, like a story. The way we heard it on the video is Exactly the way you tell it. You don't ask the specs the questions for real. ..it is just talk to create a story and effectively do the trick with."

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 !

"Wrong, you owe me a dollar"

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.

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

[paulcombitsis]

Thanks for this, Tom! Forty years doing magic and Color Monte gets them every time! I love that this can be done with a borrowed deck.

Me: "this is the year I finally find that special someone."

Him: "wrong, you owe me a dollar."

When your in math class and the teacher asks: "What's 2+2?"
You: 4
Teacher: Wrong, you owe me a dollar.

I seen people doing this. They also have partners that 'win' a few bets to give punters some 'confidence'.

[vinylfascist]

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!

Jeez. I owe him so much money. 😥 in this pandemic. Who's here quarantine?

[charlieherman]

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

[HardHittingBass]

Pause at 2:43. I knew it, you're using more than 2 hands!

[yneshAshanti]

4:34 even if the edge shows, nobody’s gonna see it.

Try that around my group of friends lol.

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

I been doing color monte for 40 years and your handling is beautiful!!!
