It looks good, I admit, but I think I'm sticking with Mike Roger's "Unconquered Card."

My question... when will Vanishing Inc. have free shipping again so I can get more of these refill packs? Picked up one at the time, and am kicking myself for not getting more

I watched the Demo before reading anything about the routine, and as I watched it I thought this is really amazing and then I realised that this was just a variation on the Skinner Ultimate 3 Card Monte!
But before I, as a magician, realised this I was amazed, so honestly I think this would really work well for laypeople. All the displays at the beginning flew right past me, I actually had to rewatch the demo to see them as it was all so natural I just saw 2 black cards and a red one, all shown completely freely! I think this is great, I'm just gutted as I have only just bought another monte routine (Diamonte) the other week! Better get saving! Mike to answer your question the refills are $10 for another 20 gimmicks. Someone on another forum mentioned that have were blue backed and half were red backed bikes, hope this helps.

How do you like Diamonte Dan?? I have been on the fence about that one. Demo looks great!

Without trying to sidetrack the thread, I really like it! Only downside for me is that you need one arts & crafts item that isn't so easy for me to get ahold of, but other than that I think it's great! PM me if you need further details.
No back on track, has anyone else got any comments on Miracle Monte?

I purchased Miracle Monte and always perform a new effect for my very honest and opinionated spouse. She was very impressed and enjoyed the routine. Her comment was "The only way that could have happened is if you had a special card, I saw you tear that A off the card" "That was REALLY good"
She was spot on obviously, but because of the structure of the routine she just shook her head in amazement and as was mentioned didn't ask to see the torn piece. This passed the test for me. If my better half is impressed then I KNOW it will work out in the trenches. David Paul

I was lucky enough to meet Wolfgang last month in Vienna (super nice guy, btw!). He performed the effect for me and, even though I had already seen it, it still amazed me.
It really is a lovely routine.

I performed Moser's Miracle Monte at a restaurant gig last night and people were genuinely surprised and loved it. I too thought the effect would be figured out but by the responses and facial expressions I was wrong......After performing it I totally agree with the following post by Andi Gladwin:

Hi Roki,
Yes it does cost each time you perform but I think it's well worth it to end totally clean for this type of effect. |

I agree with what many have said. This is strong stuff for a lay audience. Sure, you're destroying a card during each performance, but fifty cents per gaff is a small price to pay.

Nice routine. Nice variation on Skinners effect.

I just received Miracle Monte. It takes a little practice to get the routine down, and it plays great. It comes with 20 gaff cards and they were running a special and threw in 20 more for free. Great effect.

This does not play for me. As with most thing from VanishingInc, what you see is what you get, the demos are always fair. I have fooled with Skinners Monte but for me, this version has too often led to the spectators correctly concluding the method as the only possible one. Mabye my timing is off but that is my experience

I was very disappointed with having to destroy a card every single time, I just use standup monte by garret thomas and If I find myself in a suss enviroment were people might snatch cards off me, I would do miracle monte, I have them both prepared and I do a few effects at first just to find out what sort of audience I am dealing with

This always kills for me. Even when I perform it for analytical types, they are still surprised and love that they are. I think far too many people here are making th mistake of "thinking like a magician". Even when "reasonably intelligent" folks are shown this routine they are entertained. Do they think hard about it afterward and deduce the method? Maybe. Many couldn't be bothered. Not everyone is totally obsessed with dissecting every effect they see. Especially if the effect surprises them in a way that doesn't challenge them. Don't perform this as a complete "sucker" effect and you will have a great time with it.

Bear in mind that you can, wich Wolfgang demonstrates on the dvd, appearantly show the full face of all the cards in the beginning of the effect.
You can´t do that with Skinners (Taytelbaums) monte. Mikael Johansson Sweden
