The Mark (Slow Motion Four Card Monte)

Experience a modern twist on the classic “Three Card Monte” with “The Mark,” featuring four cards—three white and one ace of clubs—culminating in a stunning finale. This routine draws inspiration from the works of Jhon Luke, Luis Falanga, and Martin Lewis, incorporating a unique element: a marked ace of clubs with a large cross on its back. As you shuffle the cards face down, the cross magically shifts locations, creating visually captivating moments that elevate the performance.

The routine unfolds in three escalating phases, challenging spectators to track the ace of clubs amidst the white cards. The clever design of the cards allows for clear visibility, enabling you to hold them effortlessly with just your thumb and index finger. This design facilitates a “slow motion” performance style, ensuring a smooth flow without the need for rapid hand movements or complex card techniques.

The Mark is incredibly easy to master and resets instantly. After your performance, simply tuck the cards away, ready for your next show. Designed for both close-up and parlor magicians, these cards are highly visible even from a distance. Crafted from durable, washable material, they allow for easy marking and erasing with an ink marker, enabling you to perform this routine repeatedly without wear.
