I was ordering from Penguin, needed a few bucks more for free shipping and saw this was #1 on Penguins best-seller list, so I took a chance and ordered it.
I was pleasantly surprised. The cards are excellent quality with modern, original, full-color artwork. You can use the same Emmerson and West three-card monte routine with these cards, but now it takes on a whole new meaning and storyline with the doors and zombies. I just showed it to my daughter (I taught her 3CM already) and basically just made up some patter on the spot. With just a little work and repetition on patter and this will play excellent this time of year. Show like the walking dead, z nation, izombie and movies like world war z and zombieland make zombies a current and popular topic. Accordingly, this might be worth a look.

Same situation here, a few bucks short of free shipping so I may as well get something b/c it will cost me that much for shipping anyway. But it’s always a treat when you’re pleasantly surprised. I agree with Kaliix, nicely produced trick with good teaching by Dan Harlan. Dan even teaches an alternate move to use instead of the alignment move if you would like to use it instead.
Basically the same routine as Color Monte but opens up new presentational possibilities. They even give you a male zombie card and also a female zombie card so you can choose which you would rather use, although I personally would have preferred a choice of the final reveal card instead. The only knock I’d give it is I’m not real fond of the card with shotgun and shells. I’d prefer a sillier, more cartoonish card but hey, it’s an extra card you don’t even really need to use anyway. All around 2 thumbs up for the price. |

Sounds like a fun effect. I will also consider it if I am a few bucks short. Thanks for the recommendation.
