As a Magician I have found the 3 Shell game and 3 Card Monte to be absolutely fantastic effects to perform for spectators.
A few years back I came across 3 Disk Monte being played as a scam for money in Europe. It was basically the same game scam as played with cards....but the disks seemed to take it to the next level. I immediately got some disks and have been using them since. It is a sleight of hand effect, takes some work but it kills. One of the best things I do. Audience participation, can be lots of fun & funny, packs small/plays big and is multi phased. I put a few vids of tossing the disks on YouTube and many magicians have requested I make a booklet/vid on how to use them. I have finally released a PDF and video together on using the Disks for Monte. They have been just listed at Lybrary.com https://www.lybrary.com/3-disk-monte-p-922138.html The PDF covers the basics and goes into some more advanced moves. The vid covers the basics (props, hyping, mixing).I plan eventually to make a video on advanced moves but that will be in the future. |

Guys, this is nothing short of fantastic. Max has offered to the faternity a very rare look at a professional working effect. Nothing to think about if you do monte type effects.
Best Steve
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

Agree with Zauberman who agrees with Steve, who agrees with Max lol
I have this and I definitely going to purchase some disks and use it. I can do the 3 Card Monte so adapting to the disks should go fairly smooth. |

Unfortunately magicswindles.com, apparently the only place to buy the discs, is down.
