Can anyone describe Mo' Money Monte to me, or tell me where I can find a description of this trick. All I can find on here is that it is a follow the ace trick. And that it's available on the Ultimate Aces DVD, Which I will not buy just to find out what one trick is, but I may buy if the trick is worth learning. Please Help.

I bought this several years ago since I collect packet tricks that deal with this plot (3 Card Monte). It's an interesting variation and I have always liked Phil Goldstein (Maven) especially after seeing him a few years ago in Daytona Beach, FL. Cardamagically, Dom. :)

The phenomenally simple but genial idea which revolutionized the three card monte. Lawrence O’: Monte Plus Sneaky Variant. Using the false indices, the regular Ace of heart is at the bottom. The Ace of spades is in the middle with its false Diamond index on the outer right corner. The Ace of diamond is on top with its false Spade index on the outer right corner.The fan is held face down by the left hand -finger underneath and thumb over the back of the cards-. The cards are spread with the top card to the right. The right hand comes in Kaps subtlety position to take the upper right corner of the top card. The card is lifted by rotating the right wrist to show it to the audience screening the false index with the tip of the right first and second fingers. The right hand brings the card back in its original position over the middle card and the right fingertips immediately move to screen the false diamond index of the Ace of spades and the right hand lifts both cards up showing their face to the audience (almost nothing is seen from the Ace of diamond but only the white part of it). As the right hand comes back down, the left hand rotates showing the face of the ace of heart : during this the right thumb pushes the top card of the two it holds (the card to the right is now the lower one, when it was the upper one before the thumb push). The left hand turns its card face down and replaces it OVER and to the left of the other two cards. This enable to table the cards in a deceptive order. When the cards with the false indices must be lifted, instead of doing it by the upper right corner (a possibility), do it by placing the right middle finger over the outer end and sliding the right thumb under the inner end, rotating the card up until the left thumb covers the false index.

My marketed effect, "Headhunter," (not presently available) is a combination of a monte and Wild Card (it was originally published as "Wild Card Monte.")
