How to Do the Million Dollar Monte Card Trick.
Watch how quickly you become skilled at making
cards magically jump from one place to another.
You will need Million Dollar Monte cards Spectator
and table.
Step 1.
Fan the three Monte cards, showing only the
corner of the Ace and Two, and display them
to the spectator.
Keep the Three of Clubs on the top, since
that is the only non-gimmicked card, and the
Ace of Hearts with the gimmicked corner on
the bottom.
Step 2.
Tell the spectator to watch the Ace.
Turn the cards face down, turning them top
to bottom as you do, and slide the Ace onto
the table, being careful not to reveal the
gimmick.
Step 3.
Slide the gimmicked Two of Clubs next to the
Ace, again being careful not to show the gimmick,
and then place the Three next to the face-down
Two.
Step 4.
Ask the spectator where the Ace is, and tap
it on its spot in the center.
Step 5.
Flip the card in the Ace’s spot, revealing
that it is now the Two.
Conceal the rest of the card from the spectator,
and flip it quickly to reveal only the Two
portion.
Practice flipping cards and revealing the
different corners -- the quicker you become,
the more convincing it will be that the cards
are magically jumping around.
Step 6.
Repeat the process, this time focusing on
the Two in the center, concealing the Ace
corner from the spectator.
Each time will give the appearance that the
card magically jumped into another spot.
