World's EASIEST '3 Card Monte' Trick REVEALED

[@SankeyMagic]

DON'T FORGET to enter the contest to win 1 of 12 'Camouflage' gimmicks! Leave a comment and tell me which card you'd be - and why you'd be THAT CARD. :)

[@samwasteaway9852]

SankeyMagic I would, an AM, self associated to the 3 of ❤️’s. Why? Because, I met my now wife by showing her a card trick. Her chosen card? The 3 of Hearts On July 27th 2017 and married on Feb 9th 2019. (3x9=27) ever since that day we met (at one of my bands shows and I always carry a pack of cards with me everywhere) the 3 of ❤️’s is OUR card. 😀

[@funwithshay5945]

I would be the two of hearts because I can give the second heart to the one I like the most!

[@hardiktolani8459]

I would be ace of spades because it is traditionally , the highest and the most valued card in the deck

[@jeffreythomason1113]

Where do you come up with these tricks? I am a very creative individual but I can't imagine how you're mind works to do all these variations! Just amazing and simply astounding! I look forward to all of your videos Mr Sankey

[@stevenolsen9683]

If I was any card in the deck I would be the Joker. I would be the Joker because I am rarely, if ever, serious. Love joking around and making people laugh

[@flintlong2937]

Jay, you're the greatest! I'm 67, I knew Dai Vernon a little in Los Angeles. I was friend's with Dick Zimmerman and others. I love your style and delivery! You're a natural! Good luck, my friend! Your pal, Flint Long

[@roymizrachi7360]

I would be the 7 of diamonds because this is the card that saved my life in a way. I was depressed for something like 2 years and was once near suicide and then one day I went on youtube, saw the cartoon deck trick and the card that was chosen was the 7 of diamonds. I was amazed and that made me dive into magic and today, one and a half years after I'm the happiest person I know. And Jay you taught me a lot so you've been part of this journey so thank you!!

[@arthurleigh4097]

wow Very Nice Roy , Never Give Up

[@Martin_Vail_Esq.]

Roy are you still learning magic? I hope you have continued with your magical journey and are doing well.

[@audiemuniz6445]

I love it! Sankey he is always so talented, creative in my heart and a GOAT! Thanks sJay!

[@tomswartwood467]

What card would I be? I would have to say the double backer card, because it is rarely used but when it is it gives the user the ability to get a great reaction.

[@brianlonas8580]

you sure fooled me with the last one where you had only two cards and very good I always enjoy your ideas and magic as well thank you for sharing this video sankeymagic I really appreciate it !!!!

[@Musikpunx]

That´s great! I have seen a lot of Three-Card-Monte, but this is one of the best. And even easy to do. And even ungimmicked. And even impromptu. So good! And I am not commenting for the contest but just because I am excited, Thank you very much for sharing this idea!

[@SankeyMagic]

❤❤

[@ImprovisingFatherhood]

That effect was so lovely. I can’t wait to learn this.

[@vardofive]

This is beautiful. Reminds me of color monte. Love it Jay. Thank you.

[@rolfschullenberg7589]

Awesome!! ... And so easy to do, even for beginners. Thank you, Jay!

[@jamesharrer9971]

Love it....gonna need practice from this old boy because these hands don't have the dexterity they used to---nobody ever told me getting old would come so fast!!

[@vaibhavjain3234]

Wow!! Buckling to get the double Great application.

[@SankeyMagic]

And EZ too!

[@byb4utry]

Ace of clubs...I've always loved that card! Seems so powerful!

[@jamespurser4944]

I was very impressed with your presentation. This is my first viewing of on KZbin . !!!

[@ginojulius297]

Jack of hearts because i had a eye patch..from long ago and a lover.. 1 eye jack Jay love ur channel

[@BlackCatXIII_13_]

I have always had a fondness for the different Monte tricks. I even adapted the Two Card Monte using other slights you wouldn't see in any other Monte trick.

[@huwfarrow89]

Great trick as always, I would be the double backer, don't want to be used too often but want to make an impact once out of the box!

[@SankeyMagic]

Curious. If I recall, Shakespeare's 'beast with two backs' was all about stuff being INSIDE the 'box.' #ouch

[@TheMadShyster]

@@SankeyMagic late reply.....but....NAILED IT

[@bloodgain]

King of Hearts. He's had that damn sword stuck in his head for over 2 centuries, and he's still fine. He must be immortal.

[@Syrupskater]

What an awesome trick. Brilliant.

[@juliushernadi4421]

Thank you for another great trick with clear explanation.

[@adamemac]

An awesome trick and a perfectly thorough tutorial. Thanks, Jay!

[@SankeyMagic]

Thanks Adam. Trying to 'wing it' a bit more these days.

[@smoothoctopus]

The choice is the Jack of Clubs, the very first deck of proper cards I ever owned was a vintage 1952 bee deck...my Uncle who gave it to me, did a 3 card monte, similar to yours, a Queen of Diamonds, a joker, and the surprise card was the jack of clubs. It's been stuck in my mind ever since and inspired me into cardistry...and I use the jack of clubs for slights now!

[@romanskybudasoff1214]

Mind blowing like all you do men!! I´m following you since the last 20 years and you still surprised me, thnx 4 sharing

[@andyrichardson162]

Great trick gonna use this!

[@geuskoeman721]

Very very strong Thanks Follow you now afew years! Greetings from geus in holland

[@davidvigil1935]

Pretty cool can’t wait to use it

[@patrickpowell5430]

I've got to tell you, Jay, I've been watching you and your videos for several years and as I knew there would be a switch at some point, I spotted when you substituted the joker for the Queen with the $10 attached. Well, know, you did it so slickly, I didn't actually see you do it, but I knew THAT was when the switch was made. But, anyway, thank you.

[@EricPetersen2922]

I want to the the $ card. What ever that is. Nice 3 card Monte variation Jay. Very well done. This is the only magic trick I’ve ever been good at. I was a shill for a 3 card Monte hustler when I was young. He eventually taught me how to “shake the red card” as it was called in the streets. Great memories.

[@TheAgentofEnigmas]

This is a fantastic trick and presentation

[@nisanavraham591]

I didn't have to see how this was done, but I still watched the video because your manner of speaking is very calming.

[@magicdoty]

Great version of 3 card monte. Love the banter and clip switch. Thank you. I would be the joker of course. The humor and entertainer.

[@garyferguson6822]

King of Hearts. I've been a student and practitioner of love and things related to love most of my life. I believe that if we all showed a little love to someone, especially to someone we don't know, the universe would be a little better place to live in.

[@nickroberts6984]

Pure gold ..... thanks Jay ! : )

[@jorgemirabal9492]

AWESOME 3 card Monte the best I've seen, I'm so going to enjoy this. Thanks for sharing. . .

[@charlieherman1977]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!

[@sabinj28]

Jack of Spades, because it's my initials for one. And it's also been one of my favorite cards in the deck since I began doing magic

[@Dimebag4510]

Very clean!! Thank you!

[@kylarstern7441]

If I had to be a card it would be the 8 of Diamonds, because its perfectly symmetrical, looks the same in both vertical orientations. Thanks for the post and have an awesome week

[@BlackCatXIII_13_]

I would be the Ace of Spades. It has always been my favorite card, and is a very powerful visual to use in most tricks I perform.

[@dalebaker9109]

Thanks Jay. This is the whole nine yards. What a superb card trick.

[@hawkes83]

Jack of Spades-I am a lab-tech for a Mechanical Engineering program at a Texas college. I am not an engineer, but I support the engineering program. I am important to the program but I play a more in the background role. The Spade supports the King Queen and Ace but is not as important in rank. The lab-tech does a lot of the work behind the scene to make sure the labs are ready when the students come into them. He/She makes sure all the lab equipment is ready, the safety equipment is in place and that the students observe all the safety procedures to run the lab safely. The spade is a type of shovel; a tool that is used when you do work that gets your hands dirty. My job as lab-tech does require me to get my hands dirty and I would not trade out the job for anything.

[@toneknee6139]

Great job great video thank u very much

[@anthonyprussky]

Never Mind the choice of cards I would be, cause If I were to pick anything out from this video, Jay, I would pick your T Shirt.! Dont know want Gord Downey may have chosen as a card , but if he picked one, it would be mine. So nice to see you wearing Tragically Hip Shirt, so few people in the USA even know who Tragically Hip is.. But your wearing the shirt does a huge service to the Band. I hope others recognize whom they are and how important they were and still are to Canadian Culture... I dont think Gord was much of a magician, but he was as good a musician as you are a magician! Bless up Sankey... Keep up the good work... i love your tricks and i practice them all the time, here, In Toronto, Ontario, Canada... Home of the tragically hip!!

[@SankeyMagic]

Your words literally gave me shivers. Ah Gord...Am I right? Wow. What an actual LEGEND. So humble, but oh so brave. His words, his deeds, awe inspiring. Some get it, some don't. But for those of us who felt his genius, words fail. Again. Big hug!

[@cryptombt5880]

Jay this is a really good version of the 3 card monte and was quite impressed actually. I love magic when we don't have to use gimmicks. Love your magic Jay. Well done mate

[@AwesomeMetalBands]

The paper clip had a supporting role ;)

[@waltercenci6502]

Thank you Jay, you did it again

[@TutMasterJohn]

2 of Diamonds. I like it’s simplicity and it’s symmetry. There’s enough white space for signatures and i find it aesthetically pleasing

[@cryptictrickster1266]

The Ace of Spades It's the only card which has different amazing designs in different packs on it so just like me I love looking different & amazing at events.

[@jdt0609]

thanks for sharing this, i love it and I love your delivery

[@eduancloete5068]

King of hearts 💕 because im good with the ladies 😊... I always wanted a version of 3 card monte that doesn't make the participant feel dump. Enjoyed

[@ReaITyreekHill]

Man I'm terrible with the ladies

[@stephenhulbert3500]

Love your videos - and this trick. But the deck of cards I have don't slip over each other very well in the clip switch move. Any recommendations on a brand of cards that would work best with this trick?

[@warriorpoet8119]

This has to be my favorite Monte, I have used so many but this is so practical! I used Garret Thomas 3 card Monte, Skinner Monte and many others but this has an element I love! Oh and I am 2 years late but my Favorite Card is the 9 of diamonds because it’s the 52nd card in the Mneumonica stack, each year my favorite card changes. I guess next year My favorite card is the Joker 🃏 since I am out of cards :(

[@danieltritt1039]

I've been practicing this for about a week but when I try and do it live I've been caught on the switch of the paper clip both times I tried. I'm fairly new and looking for any tips or hints to better execute the "move". I'm trying really hard to distract them with the Joker that is being left out but 0/2 for far...

[@headchest6616]

If I were a playing card I would like to be the eight of clubs. Clubs has so many elements compared to the other suits yet it keeps its geometrical tree-like elegancy. And the way the clubs fill empty space on the eight is the pattern of a pure harmony: 4 clubs for a rhombus around a clear center, and 4 clubs for the outside corners of it. A shape inside a shape. Mesmerizing. It's like a card illustration of a human being or at least of what a human being should be: a beautiful, deep, diverse yet self-balanced creature.

[@cskiller2703]

Ace of spade its one of my favorite card and it bring back memories from a close friend I once knew

[@BonsaiMaster300]

4 of Hearts. It's Dai Vernon's 5 card mental force card.

[@teddanyluk568]

Been needing a simple & effective packet effect. Thanks Jay! Each trick works best on a certain person/group, and I got the perfect pal to try this on. I am 👑 of ❤️'$

[@saiparab2517]

Your so grate sir... Your magic is look like David Blane and dynamo...

[@KrisDavus]

really like this effect. little subtlety maybe to add: if you let a spectator hold the clipped money, let them put it on the Qh. could provide an extra punch.

[@SankeyMagic]

Noice!

[@glencongdon7359]

Absolutely love this! So simple and free looking, thankyou Jay for sharing🤗 I may swap my Garret monte for this as I love the end phase

[@ferrous3307]

I would like to be an ace of spades cuz it's kinda represents mysteriousness and it is the first card in the deck and I love it's design

[@AntonioGomez-px1pp]

I want to be a queen of hearts. Because for me it represents real love and respect. Greetings from Switzerland Jay...

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

How do you do the dog ear? The bent card? Is it similar?

[@viplavdevoteeofshriram2520]

Thanks for this 3 card Monte trick

[@SankeyMagic]

Yer welcome Viplav.

[@orikgoharvonmargartetsomon9646]

Ace of hearts!! I believe in ONE HEART! One Earth! And one Love!!!

[@adamjensen7870]

Love your magic tricks!

[@cranefive]

Saw Penn and Telller in person so would have to go with 3 of clubs .

[@KingBat-vs7qw]

I would be the Joker, cuz I am funny but usually left out... I tell you Jay, the first two parts didn't fool me (I know too much about card magic), but that clip switch shocked me! Great video, keep it up!

[@ZGBrickfilms]

This is a really good story for a 3 card monte! If I could be any card, I'd be the 7 of clubs. I always use the 7 of clubs when I force a card because a few months ago, I posted a picture of me holding the 7, so after I perform a trick, I tell the spectators that all along I knew what card they'd pick!

[@paganworld5298]

Jay, for the last reveal I would show the queen first and pause a few beats before showing the clipped joker, this way some of the people watching will start to think you are using two queens. When you turn the last joker over you have yet another magic moment. Well that is my thoughts and what I am going to do. have fun and thanks for sharing my friend.

[@SankeyMagic]

Great thinking. It's ALLL about the deets. Noice!

[@NormLegge]

Great conception Jay. Consider: since the clipped Queen is a bit obvious and the audience knows you are a wily magician, they may spoil the reveal by guessing correctly. So perhaps instead clip one of the Jokers and modify patter to do the switch while "setting one joker aside." Giving them the perception of a 50/50 chance. Then the big reveal becomes the clipped Queen. 😮 thanks for all the great content.

[@magickidstvjason]

Awesome Monte Jay!

[@nathanboyar7412]

Best 3 card monte ive ever seen!!

[@Denzel_Watchington]

*I would be the Joker... because there is $10 clipped too it. Lol*

[@janwigge3890]

I think i would choose the ace of spades. This card is diifferent in almost every deck so you always have a chance of see something new

[@brettgreen1467]

Great video!! I am the Ace of Spades because it trumps all the other cards in the deck.

[@BrandonGruber0]

Wow, amazing! I’ve never seen the clip switch before. I assumed you were doing color monte. The paper clip is completely justified with the bill. Anyway, the card I identify with is the Guarantee card because I am not sure what to do with myself. 😂

[@leolizard3152]

Hey quick question Jay, does anyone know who invented the Doublelift?

[@bruhbruh7886]

Leo Lizard it was a dude called Dr Hoo Noes

[@leolizard3152]

Lol thanks @Mr. Sarcasm

[@bruhbruh7886]

Leo Lizard hey anytime man😂

[@MikiBlue]

I loved the trick. Great.

[@tlbrpz]

Hi Jay, you've earned yourself a new sub ! I personally would be the 4 of clubs, as it symbolizes the moment I started to get really into magic thanks to the great J. Tamariz

[@SankeyMagic]

He is indeed GREAT.

[@musicandcoffee2853]

SUCH a great piece of magic and it’s pocketable so it can go anywhere with you! If I could be any card it would be a 7 of diamonds because ancient civilization was founded of 7 different metals and those metals are products of the Earth just like diamond is. Great work Jay 🎼☕️

[@allthatsmagic06]

That trick is genius I definitely got to try it out

[@brokeddog]

Another masterpiece my man. I Love your style and the way you simplify things. Peace

[@artemshportun5298]

Queen of hearts. Because the queen of hearts has been used in many magic tricks and has great stories that go with it

[@amptron1776]

I'm afraid I would be something like the 6 of clubs or eight of hearts - sort of a middle of the deck, blend into the pack, average kind of card. Although every card has his day eventually . . .

[@JustFun-iz9rf]

Always brilliant

[@jodocuscircus4127]

thanks men!! a great trick!!

[@carlpowers7291]

Awesome effect

[@StephenNobleArtDirector]

Love your stuff thank you for these videos

[@tjlaviolette]

Thank you kind sir for showing us your take on this..I love how you turn the tables so not to make the spectator feel stupid..If I could be any card it would be The Joker because it stands out in the deck and doesn't fit in with the rest of "the crowd"

[@Magic-bs7tf]

I would like to be the 7 of Spades because I really like 7 and Spades is the colour with the best ace in the box. ;) And I could surprise the other cards because the 7 of Spades isn't so conspicuous. It is a great card.

[@smains]

Great effect. Appreciate the tips on presentation, not just mechanics. I'd be the 10 of Clubs -- that is the least selected card by laymen so the most overlooked, but by extension, that makes it the most surprising.

[@jdmoore]

2 of clubs. It's just always been my favorite card. About 25 years ago a magician did a trick for me and it ended with me getting the card and it was the 2 of clubs.

[@deejay6869]

First of all, answer the question of the week. If I were any card, I would want to be the Jack of Hearts. Why, because the face of the Jackof Hearts looks like a prince. And a prince and hearts would attract the ladies. Come to think of it. I think I'll make that my calling card. thanks, Jake, for coming up with that great idea for me. That's where the trick, I really like it. I was so fascinated with the story that goes with the trick, that it made the whole trick a lot more fun to watch. And, this time, even though I knew what you were doing, I really could not tell when or how you were doing it. You're really good at your craft.

[@TwinTurbo74]

Ace of spades Always loved it and is my card of choice

[@weejim48]

That was brilliant. I would have lost everything watching this trick. 😃😃👍

[@BluerStreek]

5 of hearts and why its my favorite card in the deck it has brought me good luck

[@sergelopez799]

I’d be the ace of spades because it’s always the most detailed and intricate in a deck and because I like it because it’s bold very much like myself

[@johnnysamol6147]

I would be if I was a card in the deck a jack of clubs because I noticed that if I cut the deck three times a jack a Queen or a duece will turn up on the bottom of one of the stacks .

[@paulmedina6082]

Thank you... that was cool

[@adithyakrishnan7584]

This might be the easiest 3 card monte but imo this is the best version of it. I just freakin loved it. I mean how in the world would money-clipped card change places? It was just there... and then... BOOM 🤩
