Soft Shoe Monte

"A little game called Hanky Poo, that's one for me and two for you."

If you want to do a version of 3 Card Monte, forget that ridiculous rhyme! You want to do a real, modern version of 3 Card Monte. Jim Steinmeyer's Soft Shoe Monte is that routine. It's a stand-up version of 3 Card Monte that has three punch-packing phases.

In this game of 3 Card Monte, it seems as though you're doing everything completely above board and that the rules couldn't be any easier to follow. However, the money card is never where the audience expect it. Even when you use one hand and two cards, the spectators are completely flummoxed.

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. The package includes the specially-made mechanical cards, step-by-step instructions with photographs, full presentation and patter. Not bad for $20!
