Five Card Monte by Max Howard

Max Howard is an Actor/Magician.
On this DVD he performs and explains his “Five Card Monte.”
It begins as a three card monte. The odd colored card turns face down and face up. Just when the spectator thinks they’ve figured out the game the odd card changes to an Ace. Then the three cards turn out to be four cards, the four Aces!. the odd card is disclosed in a place of your choosing.

Easy to do, and the gaff is readily available or easy to make.

The Max Howard lecture was one of the best I’ve ever seen. You can see why he won an Emmy for his TV work. The characterizations alone were worth the lecture. What a talent! I think everyone there was enthralled from the opening moments, until the end which came about three hours later! The tricks were outstanding, but you had to be there to see the presentations. Now I really know how tricks become magic!! If he was lecturing again in the area tomorrow…
I’d be back to watch it again!
