I liked how the video explained the topic thoroughly and quickly, in plain language. Also, the sound quality was great. All UA-cam videos should be like this. Great job and thanks!
apparently my school didn't think this was an appropriate talent for the talent show (personally i consider taking teenagers money a great talent but what do i know)
There are many factors in poker secrets. One plan I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Card Crusher Fixer (google it if you're interested) definately the most useful resource i've heard of. look at all the awesome information .
I got hustled for 50 exactly this way. I came and watched this video the same night, went back a few days later, and instead of picking where I think it was, I picked something different. See, if Im following the Ace, and they think im following the ace, and pull this trick, then obviously the card they think im gonna pick, is NOT the ace. So if I choose a card other than what I think the Ace is, that means I had a 50% chance of finding the ace. I found it 4 out of 5 times, earned my 50 back, tripled it and the dude wouldnt let me do it anymore.
They've already thought of that, if a mark, by chance, selects the correct card, then a shill will often put a bigger bet on a different card, the dealer will announce that only the highest bet is allowed to play.
Nice! Remember this from the '60's and just caught this from a few years ago. Nice job shuffling, top moves and using ace instead of 'catch the 'lady'. Also, nice job of discussing basics i.e. one shill to communicate/draw. I've read alot about this and would be nice if you could elaborate on full team play and also discuss 'crimp', 'paper paste' moves and history of pea game influence.
Assuming you had the ability to follow 2 cards, if you followed the ace and the off hand king you would know the position of the "ace" as well as the off-hand king. And since you know they are going to swap it, the position of the "ace" is also incorrect, so you choose the remaining position which is the strong-hand king position, which was swapped to the ace. This is of course assuming you can follow 2 cards, which I know I can't, and yes I know you won't win anyway because they will just beat you or run.
I was watching a game in NYC back in the eighties. One of the shills whispered to the betting shill (but made sure me and another guy could hear him) "look he bent the ace! He doesn't see it." I looked and saw a small bend at one corner of the ace, and sure enough the betting shill started winning all the time. Every time the dealer paid off he paid slower, then he looked confused, then he looked upset and finally a little mad at his shill he was paying off, started staring him down. Finally one of the suckers started playing and they let him win a little. I couldn't tell you how much money was passed around (it was 30 years ago) but the performance was masterful! That dealer had a career on Broadway if he wanted it. Also, if by some miracle you get the rhythm of it and actually win real money from these guys you won't be walking very far, and you'd be lucky if you ever walked again. Trust me on this and don't take the chance. Watch for the performance but don't get involved.
true, I noticed they work in groups, the hustler and the one betting, and then theres the lookout people, if you are going to get involved bring a group of people
+UnYin99 I witnessed that same act in the campground at Woodstock '99. Almost identical to what you're describing, except in the one I saw, the shill lost a hand, pretended to get angry, and threw one of the non-ace cards off the table behind the dealer. Then while the dealer was bent over picking it up, the shill grabbed the ace and bent the corner. The dealer pretended not to notice and the shill won a couple hands with big money, like a couple hundered each time.....they made it look so enticing. Haha might have been the same guys that you saw. I was only 16 at the time, and was just watching in amazement as this scene was unfolding in front of me. I had already seen a lifetime worth of crazy things that weekend, but I didn't know about shills or sleight of hand, I just kind of took it at face value and couldn't figure out how the dealer didn't notice the huge crease on the corner of the ace. I did at least know better than to put money down. They took this college frat guy for $200 while I was standing there.
+Andy P He he that's awesome! I'll bet the details of this "show" are passed down father to son and a good show like the we have seen is guarded carefully.
It takes practice. You simply stack the three cards up in any order you chose, pick up the stack,move you hand somewhat rapidly to the side, and adjust your grip so the card not on the bottom slides out. It appears you dropped the three cards in order, but instead the one from the middle or even the top can fall first, and if you do it up to speed, it looks normal. Vary your grip and you will keep them guessing.
this trick even though how simple it is was the most interesting trick to perform at the school i go to (not making money). i didnt want to do it but i ran out of tricks so i decided to and everyone,no matter what they were doing, came over and watched.
When you think about it, you have a 50/50 chance to win. Follow the ace the way the hustler wants you to and never pick up that card. He'll eventually pick up on it but it should work in the beginning :)
I'm pretty sure that when the scam is in effect all three cards are a king. It's sleight of hand. The dealer is a magician of sorts. There is no way to win.
They have safeguards against that. If you choose the right card by chance, one of the shills will simply bet more than you on a loser card. At which point the dealer will claim that he "only takes the highest bet" and refuse to accept your wager. Kind of an obvious tip-off that it's a scam, but the worst case scenario for him is that you smell a rat and leave, or he simply picks up his box and runs off if you call him out. A good 3-card hustler never lets his mark win a hand. Not even one. They aren't like other hustlers who may throw a game or two to rope you in, since their whole operation is based around setting up and leaving at a moment's notice. Anyone you witness win at Three-Card Monte is a shill. There is no way to game their system or outsmart them. Just stay away.
Bob Snow What if, after that, you immediately outbid them on the right card as the highest wager? And what if it's something their shills can't cover like 10 grand cash? If they try to run with your money and you're rich like someone who has 10 grand to randomly put down on 3 card montey your body card can fuck them up.
***** In that case, the most intelligent of scam artists will bring in fake police which they employed, and send all the marks away, and pretend to arrest the scam artists, which quickly and effectively separates the marks from their money
Back around 2007 I was in New York City on Fifth Avenue, west side of the street, between 48th and 49th, saw a crowd of about 20 people around someone with his back against the building with a stand up table doing this, all looking like Puerto Ricans (a big PR population in east Harlem). First, it was odd that people in the densely packed crowd let me get up to the front. A young European guy also had moved up close with me, and we both watched someone else playing, winning and losing big amounts, $200, $600. I had heard this was a scam, and so when the European pulled out a wad of money and said he wanted to try, I said "This is a scam, don't do it." To my amazement, all the people in this crowd started yelling at me and shoving me out of the circle. One tough guy told me to get the hell off the block and followed me down the street. On the corner was a lookout, another tough guy telling me to get the hell away and not come back. I never experienced any violence like that before. I felt bad for the tourist. This is the first time, now in 2021, that I learned how this works. Thanks so much to Mismag822 for this excellently done explanation.
Thanks for showing the trick in this video. A not very known pc game called Urban Runner shows this and I was trying to figure out what i was missing, now i know :)
There are a lot of hustlers playing 3-card Monte on the streets of Las Vegas in the tourist areas. I have seen them on the bridges that cross over the Strip connecting the MGM to the casino across the street. In fact, there is a youtube video entitled "Las Vegas Cheater Part 3.wmv" that shows the same guys that I saw hustling the game.
i love how i figured it out after the first time tho.. i realized u kept the ace in ur hands.. i think on the street i would have lost but then won a couple times and left lol XD see often the trick for the victim is to lose once to find out how he wins, and then beat him where he feels advantageous.. i just love how i might be the only one who would have one this game on the street.. am i boss? XD
As soon as I saw he had two cards in his hand I knew I was going to follow the ace every time. I'm not good at reading deceptive people though so if I tried to do it for real I probably wouldn't be able to guess when they were going to throw the trick.
@amplifyd63 When the cards are face down, he's holding the bottom card (ace) between his thumb and middle finger, and the top card (king) between his thumb and index finger. As he throws the king he removes his index finger in order to let the top card drop to the table. It's just basic sleight of hand. Simple enough just takes a little practice.
For fun, I'd like to watch and then "play" knowing I'll lose. I would "follow" the red ace and then when it's time to lay some money I would place it on one of the other two cards, at least then at least have a 50/50 shot. Or follow the second card he throws down assuming he only does the throw down trick on the first shot. Afterall, the idea entering the game is you only have a 1/3 chance winning, pretty good odds right? I'd only do it if he was showing all three cards at the end.
***** the problem is when you pick the right card before it is flipped over the guy mixing the cards will signal to one of his buddies to bump the table thus voiding the game. Or one of the lookouts will pretend he saw a cop and tell everyone to run. These people are criminals you can never win.
You're right, the circumstances would have to be right. If I was playing for like $5 bucks I'd still like to see if I could try to win. Playing a cheaters game can be fun and entertaining. I wouldn't dare waste money on it though.
I've often thought of doing the 50/50 thing myself. But you know you would still get hustled. Not just the fact that you've now turned it into a coin toss, but the hustler is going to quickly realise what you are doing, and then change it to an 'honest' shuffle. once they see you guessing, I bet they can still milk all the money out of you. Would still be fun to try for say two goes only and then walk away...
I happened to get it right each time by guessing a card that wasn't the one that it seemed to be. Of course, as someone else wrote, they'd find a way to not let me win. One of the in-group would bet higher on another card, for example, and they'd dismiss my bet.
Nice video - you should also show the Mexican turnover. One could argue that once the "mark" joins the game, he could simply ignore the obvious (sucker) card and still has a 50/50 chance to guess the right card. With the Mexican turnover, they can make the card you pick look like a different card. Although - these guys are all street thugs and thieves, who would probably beat you up before paying you any winnings, so you're right - just don't play!
Back in high, I used to do with 3 empty match boxes, only 1 had a piece of match inside. no matter how fast or slow i moved the boxes, i won all the time. I won a lot of sodas and burgers. if you want the tutorial mismag i can send it to you.
Thanks for the post. I used to see this scam as pretty popular in San Francisco's Pier 39. I never gambled, but saw others doing so - they were probably in on the scam as you mentioned here. Since videos like this have come up exposing 3 card monte (and since cops have been cracking down on hustlers!), you don't see too many of these guys around anymore. I guess they're moved onto computer hacking!
while you were doing the trick, my volume is muted, i got the cards right the entire time :D i do three card monte and i notice when you threw the top card instead of the Ace
I watched some guys play this in Paris once. I knew it was a scam involving accomplices, but I wanted to know if I could figure it out. There was a dealer, two stooges (one who lost a few games and another who won a few), an unexpecting tourist, and me :) I saw the stooges playing, getting the tourist's attention (and trying to get mine) until he decided to try. I was looking for a card switch at the last moment (so there are 3 losing cards), but I didn't see anything. Thanks for explaining :)
Whenever he puts down the "red Ace" for the first time, he does slight of hand so that the red Ace is actually still in his hand. Simply follow the card in his hand afterwards. Edit: lol he explains at the end, nvm...
There's always guys doning the 3 Card Monte in the downtown section of my hometown. Even if I can't see where the "it" card is, I already KNOW that it's a hustle. And there's always a group of people. I feel like EVERYONE knows it's a scam, but just like casinoes people keep playing, because it's the chase of getting free money. Just like with casinoes stand up comics say it best: "Casnioes: That business where people walk in and GIVE YOU MONEY... and then leave". That and the shell games are the OLDEST tricks in the book. Moral of the story: Don't gamble.
It's very easy, you just have to see which finger they release. If they release the upper finger, it's the upper card they drop. ;) But they'll realize you know how it works quick enough to stop playing before you win any money...
I liked how the video explained the topic thoroughly and quickly, in plain language. Also, the sound quality was great. All UA-cam videos should be like this. Great job and thanks!
you've got some pretty killer sleight of hand, dude.

I was thinking the same… still cant afford to try it lol
You should of laughed in his face like Darth Sidious lol.
👏👏👏Exactly
Pull that on "black" street you'll be fucked, real quick.
If I follow the "Ace", I know where it isn't, and then I have 50% change of winning.
Colaman112 better odds than blackjack
If you know what they are dping you can still follow the real ace. Not that hard, but they do still jave tricks for such a situation.
They've already thought of that, if a mark, by chance, selects the correct card, then a shill will often put a bigger bet on a different card, the dealer will announce that only the highest bet is allowed to play.
Either that or a confederate will yell "Cops!" and the guy doing the cards will grab all the money, including your bet, and run off.

This is so cool. I'm doin this to people now! it's so fun
RESPECT! 2nd best I've seen after Ricky Jay himself.
oh wow... That.... Was... AWESOME i've been trying to figure out this trick for a while!
I want to see a 3 card monte duel - 2 masters of the hustle going back and forth for 50 rounds, just to see whose hands/eyes are better.
someone chalenged me to one of those , and thanks to you i won every time!!
this is how the big boys are having fun with the monte throw :)
I used to do this sleight all the time and amaze everyone in school but then stopped I dont know why lol I'm starting it again
Wow, sleight of hand + cool camera trick.
I never did loose any money .... however I was always intrigued as to how the trick was done .... Thanks
It was quite easy for me to follow red ace. There is slight difference in border margin in red ace.
Ive been watching this long enogh that im actually starting to follow
Good demonstration. Thanks for sharing.
Another great performance, Mismag.
Thanks for showing us the trick!

You are so quick! I've watched ten times and I still can't see the switch!

Thank you. :) Not that I'd ever play or hand someone my money, it's neat to know!
LOL!!! such a simple trick and i couldn't figure it out!!!
thanks fir the tutorial video i somewhat masetrd it in 6 hours and my friends were really confusded=P
That was a cool video man.
i got it right the first time you tried tricking me :D i saw you throw the card wierd so i followed the other one :D
Good job man
If you know that though? Can you just follow the opposite card in the hand with the ace?
Fordham Rd in the Bronx is full with these hustlers.
while you were doing the trick, my volume is muted, i got the cards right the entire time :D i do three card monte and i notice when you threw the top card instead of the Ace
dam! shoulda seen this vid before we went to vegas!
This changes everything
I watched some guys play this in Paris once. I knew it was a scam involving accomplices, but I wanted to know if I could figure it out.

I saw the stooges playing, getting the tourist's attention (and trying to get mine) until he decided to try.
I was looking for a card switch at the last moment (so there are 3 losing cards), but I didn't see anything. Thanks for explaining :)
Rob them at gun point......you win
Oners82 it was a joke...
nice job man is it the same with the shell game ??
Great easy to understand for newbyes. Thanks
LOL right off the bat he's screwin' with ya.
damn that's crazy that last part was so fast.
wow dude you are fucking awesome with card tricks, and youre so smooth with the flow
OmikronGT. You are the single thickest bloke on earth!!
Amazingdanny lol I agree. Is there a name for that top card sleight?
Whenever he puts down the "red Ace" for the first time, he does slight of hand so that the red Ace is actually still in his hand. Simply follow the card in his hand afterwards.
Edit: lol he explains at the end, nvm...
Can you do a tutorial on how to throw the cards with two fingers please?
wow nice trick!
The ultimate three card monte uses trick cards with different markings
There's always guys doning the 3 Card Monte in the downtown section of my hometown. Even if I can't see where the "it" card is, I already KNOW that it's a hustle. And there's always a group of people. I feel like EVERYONE knows it's a scam, but just like casinoes people keep playing, because it's the chase of getting free money. Just like with casinoes stand up comics say it best: "Casnioes: That business where people walk in and GIVE YOU MONEY... and then leave". That and the shell games are the OLDEST tricks in the book. Moral of the story: Don't gamble.
That is FLIPPIN awesome!! :D XD
@staphinfection
its probably worth it to actually follow the shuffle and consider what you think is the Ace to be a king. Then it rises to 50% ^.~
It's very easy, you just have to see which finger they release. If they release the upper finger, it's the upper card they drop. ;) But they'll realize you know how it works quick enough to stop playing before you win any money...
thx a lot for that man, ur great!!
