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.

[@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]

❤❤

[@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 !!!!

[@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.

[@vardofive]

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

[@ImprovisingFatherhood]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@adamemac]

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

[@SankeyMagic]

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

[@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😂

[@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?

[@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

[@jamespurser4944]

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

[@rolfschullenberg7589]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@dalebaker9109]

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

[@eyewaves...]

Great trick and thank you for the tutorial... love it...

[@ginojulius297]

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

[@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

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

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

[@byb4utry]

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

[@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.

[@jorgemirabal9492]

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

[@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. 😂

[@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!

[@vaibhavjain3234]

Wow!! Buckling to get the double Great application.

[@SankeyMagic]

And EZ too!

[@brettgreen1467]

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

[@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

[@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 ;)

[@geuskoeman721]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@AntonioGomez-px1pp]

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

[@juliushernadi4421]

Thank you for another great trick with clear explanation.

[@weejim48]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@BonsaiMaster300]

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

[@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 :(

[@eddiewitchcraft6574]

This is dope, ty 👊 you're the man 🤘 I'm the jack of spades because I resonate with this card so deeply. This card popped up so much, it spoke to me (not in a tripping on acid kinda way😂😂), that I even have it tattooed to the blade of my hand as a revelation, and it works like a charm 😈

[@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

[@allthatsmagic06]

That trick is genius I definitely got to try it out

[@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.

[@Denzel_Watchington]

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

[@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!

[@andyrichardson162]

Great trick gonna use this!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@cranefive]

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

[@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.

[@augustknowsstuff5475]

I would be the 8 of hearts because one of my favourite card tricks “unshuffled” uses that card

[@TheAgentofEnigmas]

This is a fantastic trick and presentation

[@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

[@Syrupskater]

What an awesome trick. Brilliant.

[@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.

[@davidvigil1935]

Pretty cool can’t wait to use it

[@jonizeili]

I'd be the King of Hearts because I can conquer any queen's heart!

[@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 ❤️'$

[@ericdollz8981]

Thank you for the trick! Awesome shirt 🤘🏻🇨🇦

[@magickidstvjason]

Awesome Monte Jay!

[@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

[@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.

[@charlieherman1977]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!

[@nathanboyar7412]

Best 3 card monte ive ever seen!!

[@VicDiniMagic]

Sweet routine. Thanks for sharing. BUT can you please straighten your picture frames! lol. Just teasing you. They likely are after this long since the original post. Cheers and thanks for sharing

[@nickroberts6984]

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

[@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"

[@fabiGBOtown]

I would be the seven of hearts. The reason is that my idol, a soccer player who were the number seven, scored the winning goal of the championship and drew a heart with his hand in the air. Best moment of my sports life

[@toneknee6139]

Great job great video thank u very much

[@Dimebag4510]

Very clean!! Thank you!

[@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 . . .

[@waltercenci6502]

Thank you Jay, you did it again

[@drakescott667]

7 of diamonds because I just watched a video where a magician said think of a card. I didn't want to be tricked into a psychological force, so I changed my mind from the 5 of clubs to the 7 of diamonds and he revealed his prediction (on a prerecorded video) as the 7 of diamonds. Mind blown.

[@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 🎼☕️

[@viplavdevoteeofshriram2520]

Thanks for this 3 card Monte trick

[@SankeyMagic]

Yer welcome Viplav.

[@artemshportun5298]

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

[@saiparab2517]

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

[@Shadowise-46.2]

I’d me the A of diamonds because I’ll be 40 in July and it’s the 40th card. Am I too old to win?

[@billinorlando1]

The 4 of clubs. Works well with 4 people in a club. Thanks for sharing.

[@dillen3727]

Ace of spades because it has so many uses and such a high value

[@juliushernadi4421]

I'd want to be the four of clubs because it looks so innocuous and unassuming and no one would expect it to be tricky.

[@trick2stab314]

But what when 2 cards are left and they know you will try to trick them so they pick card without paperclip?

[@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.

[@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 🤩

[@owenhouston3729]

I’ve discovered over time that I’m a “jack of all trades”, so if I could be any playing card, i would be the jack of spades.

[@wonderdogentertainment]

Bruh.... I've been doing magic since I was 8. The squeeze at around 7:12, great. You do a flip on top, but you don't even do another second deal to your mouth. How are you getting it back to center? You can uh, like find out who I am, or maybe just reply here. Great presentation, awesome with the clip switch (very original), but you are going so fast, even downloading the vid, I cannot see how you are not putting a joker in your mouth. Please advise, and thanks. Would love to do this, since well I was 7 when I watched Joe Monti do his giant card trick right in front of me with book sized cards and have never forgotten it, nor will ever cease to want to know how he's doing it.... that aside... hope you reply...

[@wonderdogentertainment]

Ok, well books and years aside.... I'd say the only way I could pull it off is a double pull and flip (which you aren't explaining)... thus... your explanation as great as it is, is still an amazing bit of work since even a magician (me) cannot see it in a frame by frame examination. Well done!!! It's gotta be a double and a flop flip to get her back in the middle.

[@wonderdogentertainment]

Sorry I thought you were displaying an easy second deal [double lift] Its a two card turn (duh).... excellent.

[@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

[@TwinTurbo74]

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

[@gtiman67]

Thank you for making these videos you have great magic technique it's good to learn... I think magic makes people happy inside when it's done properly young and old alike🥴

[@rikask2879]

I'd be the ace of spades form the bee deck because I love the design of that card 😍😍
