Soft Shoe Monte trick Jim Steinmeyer

The most amazing game of Three Card Monte ever devised, including the specially-made mechanical cards, step-by-step instructions with photographs, full presentation and patter.

Soft Shoe Monte uses just three jumbo cards (with the requisite Bicycle backs, thank you very much) to pull the proverbial wool over the eyes of your spectators. Through three phases, though it seems as if everything has been explained clearly and that the rules couldn't be any easier to follow, the money card is never where they expect it. Even when you use one hand and two cards, the spectators are completely flummoxed.

This is a trick that plays huge, packs small and packs a punch.

Masterfully deceptive, ingeniously clever and devilishly entertaining, Jim Steinmeyer's Soft Shoe Monte isn't just cheating, it's a complete stand-up routine that makes dishonesty a sure thing.
