    At about 4:20, he should have said "You condition their brain to follow the first card". Not the"3" or the "diamond". When they're conditioned to follow the first card, that's when you deal from the top of your 2 cards. That's the key to the 3 card monte.

  • @ArduinoTronic
    @ArduinoTronic 10 лет назад +42

    There is another version where the target card is given a slight dog ear (twist) at one corner. They think you dont know this and then you rapidly straighten that card and dog-ear another as you pick up and do the swap as well.... nasty that one!

  • @ghuegel

    Even if your visual acuity is so high that you can follow the money-card every time, the people who run this sort of game will assault and rob you if you "win".

    • @MrBigenstien
      @MrBigenstien 9 лет назад

      I don't think generally they'd do that, there are ways to ensure you never win even if you "catch on" to what they are doing, and even if you understand it they can make your chances no better than 50% really though, if you get that one 50% chance win! you more than likely aren't going to be winning again.

    • @ghuegel
      @ghuegel 9 лет назад +2

      MrBigenstien I think they can make your odds 33% because they can do "the move" more than once.
      But if you had the ability (supernatural as it would be) to see through "the move", and you persisted in playing, I suspect that you're likely to be robbed. At least, that's what I've heard, and it seems plausible.

    was with my family in the streets of new york and we saw someone doing this. i was 18 so i was legal and my dad is telling me don;t its a scam I cannot win. Had it not been for your tutorial i would not have been able to anti-scam them. I knew the trick and i knew which card to follow. After i won twice in a row the guy got up and walked away. (After he paid up.)

    • @zaphod77
      @zaphod77 5 лет назад +7

      They only let you win a few because they scammed enough other people. If they haven't a shill will override your bet with a higher one, and instead you will get your money back, and the shill will win if he bet on your card or lose if he bet on a different one. If this happens to you, don't bother trying again. It's very rare that you will get to win even once, even if you pick it. Also if you are allowed to win, then you are helping them scam other people, by proving they can be beaten by a non shill.

      You're spot on. I am a NYer and they will have plants and gaffs all over. especially if they pull in huge money Best advice after scamming a scammer is to go hang out with NYPD and buy them a coffee. Scammers also know time is money and will let a couple hundred walk if it takes too long to attempt a mugging. They also wont risk jail for a scam they will make the money back on tomorrow. They'll be pissed but they understand losses and gains better than anyone. @Impromptu

    The best 3 card-monte I have seen was a street guy in Seattle. He would bend the corner of the card you were looking for and was kind of obvious about it. You would be thinking how can I lose with the corner bent, only one of the cards have a corner bent. But of course, somehow when he mixed the cards up the bent corner would "jump" to the wrong card. genius

    I rode the CTA in Chicago in the evening for about a year, and watched this and the shell game in amazement. At a specific station, a group of people would get on who were clearly working together, but pretending they didn't know each other. One of them would "win" then lure someone, usually an immigrant - to bet, take their money, the whole group would get off at the next stop, and catch the next train back towards downtown. Repeat and rinse. There is no way CTA security did not know this was going on. If they had a guard on the platform where they changed trains, the whole thing would unravel. There was absolutely no reason a person would make that train switch.

    They usually have partners in the crowd, when you bet on the right card, the partner goes in and bets higher on the wrong card... The scammer then says "sorry, i have to go with the higher bet" and gives you your money back. All wins they payout are to partners in the crowd. Never ever play any game on the streets.

    I told you what happens if you pick the right card by chance. The scammer will not let you win unless it's about peanuts and he figures a small win will make you or others bet more. They don't play fair! And if you think you can outwit a professional scammer... well, let me know how that works out for you. If it weren't for people who think they could win, these guys wouldn't have an income.

    This tutorial is overly complicated in my opinion, I learned this track when I was 12 and never practiced 'picking up 2 cards with one hand'. Just pick up the 2 black cards using thumb and index finger with each hand and practice picking up the red card using your thumb and middle finger with each hand ( while holding the black cards ) . Show the red card , throw it to the other side , pick it up with the other hand , show it , and throw it back to the other hand , show it again. >>>

    • @DaddyBeanDaddyBean
      @DaddyBeanDaddyBean 5 лет назад +1

      Agreed. There are three elements here - I'll call them the grip (picking up two cards in one hand), the throw (dropping the first or second card, seamlessly), and the shuffle (obvious) - and all three can be practiced independently, with the cards face up (bent the wrong way) so you can see what you're doing. You don't have to learn and practice the entire trick as a unit - learn each element, practice each element, start putting the elements together, and THEN turn the cards face-down. I practice false cuts & shuffles with the top card face up so I know immediately if I missed and can stop & correct it.

    You didn't mention the other part of the scam. Usually, the dealer states he must always take the highest bet from the group of observers. So, if by chance you figure it out, and want to bet on the correct card, someone else in the set-up team will out-bid you in order to make sure that the scam team doesn't ever lose. You never ever have a chance to win your money back.

    you should have included the more complex version, where a "random" person makes a small bend at the edge of the card and you can STILL scam the person("the mark")

    I have never lost at Monte, it’s really easy to follow the card even when they do the sleight of hand.

      No it isn't, not if they're good at it, even you could be fooled. Guaranteed.

    It forever amuses me when people say things like "this is supposed to trick people?" on videos revealing how something is done... But, anyways, Disturb Reality can you provide any tips on the release of the top card? I constantly clip the bottom card as it falls, or have it fall on it meaning I have to slide it out from beneath, or it all goes well, but the card spins slowly and lands at a telling angle >.
