Prohibition Monte

Transform one of the most iconic card swindles into a mind-blowing experience with Prohibition Monte. This routine features an astonishing conclusion that will leave your audience in disbelief.

This unique effect combines elements from three classic card tricks:

• The Two Card Monte
• The Anniversary Waltz
• The Torn and Restored Card

Inspired by the clever tactics of con artists during the 1920s prohibition era, this routine showcases how they used torn cards to bypass gambling laws. Here’s how it unfolds:

• You introduce two distinct torn half cards from your wallet, displaying them clearly.
• The spectator is invited to “follow the lady,” focusing on the Queen.
• You place the Queen in your EMPTY pocket and ask where it is—hand or pocket?
• Despite the apparent simplicity, the spectator will likely guess incorrectly—until you decide to let them win.
• To assist, they can sign both half-cards for easier tracking, yet they will still be misled!
• In a stunning finale, the two halves magically fuse into a single, mismatched, DOUBLE SIGNED card!

With comprehensive video instructions filmed in a prohibition-themed bar, Alan Rorrison provides all the tools you need to master this effect quickly. Prohibition Monte fits seamlessly into your collection without taking up extra space; it can be stored in any wallet’s credit card slot!

The phrase “packs small, plays big” perfectly describes this routine. Alan Rorrison carries it everywhere—from his wallet to his gym bag. It’s so compact that it can even fit in that elusive tiny pocket in your jeans!

All necessary components come beautifully packaged in a premium, gold-foiled tuck box, including five durable gaffed cards and twenty “souvenir” cards designed for signing and giving away. The trick remains effective without signatures, allowing for countless performances.

For those who prefer the signed version, affordable refills will soon be available. Each card, crafted by expert designer Destino, features a subtle distressed style and is printed on thicker, more durable cardstock than standard Bicycle cards, ensuring longevity through repeated performances.

Designed by a performer for performers, Prohibition Monte is an essential addition to any close-up magician’s toolkit. It’s straightforward to execute, has a captivating hook, and concludes with a memorable souvenir for your audience!
