Color monte is always a favourite of mine, because it was the first one I learned.

NFW goes by pretty quickly as an effect, nowhere as long as Gypsy Curse. I happen not to like a lot of the effects that bring together way too much twisting and turning either but NFW has a real nice play and feel to it, good movement (not too repetitive at all and it's done way before you begin to glaze-out)  of the cards toward some really awesome magic. It's worth a try and I think you'll love it.
As to Gypsy Curse, well, it's an oldie but goodie for sure.

Colour Monte gets my vote.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

While Color Monte is a good trick, in a list of best packet trick of all time, though many do the effect, I would think it would not be listed in any legit Top 5 or 10. It may be a "favorite" for many but "Best," I wouldn't think so. I know "Best" is subjective but with all due respect, I think there are a quite a few better than Color Monte. Sorta like going to an Audi dealer and falling in love with a Jeep on the lot...I guess it could happen but...

Ease of performance, power of the effect, ability to reset quickly, how many sold, how often performed... I don't really use packet tricks because I don't like spectators seeing obviously gaffed cards and thinking--"well, that's how all tricks work, isn't it? The card can look anyway they like." The great thing about color monte is that it doesn't play around with the standard shapes of the suits and has a stunning close. Sleights are easy, reset brainless, and one can pass everything out for inspection. Plus it's a whimsical take on an old swindle. Yes, I've talked myself into it...Color monte is the best one of all time (that I know about!) Cheers! :bikes: |

Any video links to the Color monte? If it is indeed Best of them all.
Sounds like it really would be my new favorite. |

The Last Trick Of Dr. Jacob Daley is one of the best, because it happens in their hands.

There are many great packet tricks out there and it is hard to pick a favorite. But if I have to pick just one, then I choose Nick Trost's "Trick Kards".

Vlad ,
You are on the right track. The Dazzle Act is at the end of the Collected Works Vol 2. Dazzle is just part of the act. Page 463. |

Isn't Jesters Peter Kane's? Where they change color?
[/quote] I learned it off of Aldo Colombini's "True Magic". It;s the second effect on the DVD I dvd I believe. Extremely visual color changes. Love it. [/quote] Yes, it's Peter's. Sometimes called The Court Jesters or Blushing Jokers. One place it can be found is his book "Kane". J. K. Hartman also has a variation which is either in Card Craft or Trickery Treats. Before the book publication I think it appeared in The Last Heirophant with some further thoughts by Jon Racherbaumer. the exact references are probably in that book "Small But Deadly". :0 |
