Hi all,
The Skinner Monte was one of the first packet tricks I bought, and the only one I liked =) That was 12 years ago. I long lost the instructions and the cards, so I bought it again - this time it looked a little different - Ultimate 3 Card Monte? And the instructions were different. I like some of the subtleties of this one, but I also liked parts of the old one. Does anyone know if the presentation changed between printings? |

Was Skinner's name still attached to the new version you bought? Various people have put out routines with the same set of cards which certainly pre-date Skinner.

If you want to see how Michael actually performed the routine, watch him do it on DVD 2 in the 13-disc set "The Skinner Tapes." It looks unbelievable. The instructions were dumbed down so it could be sold to laymen.

I believe L&L Publishing puts it out.
SHAZAM!

I just recently purchased Ultimate Monte for the first time. The title is Michael Skinner's Ultimate 3 Card Monte and his picture is right on the cover. If you search by the title on YouTube, you'll see lots of performances and tutorials. You can compare and see if any match your memory. Here is Bill Malone doing the handling almost exactly as it's published in my set. The only difference is that he adds some extra shuffles (but always an odd number, so he comes out OK each time).

I DO like Bill Malone's version (On the Loose); and his patter is priceless. Lynn

I may still have my original instructions around if you need them.
