NOTES ON THREE-CARD MONTE by Whit Haydn: School for Scoundrels Order 570206 ... $35.00 Written from class notes (a four-week course taught at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles), this book covers the history, psychology and application of the street-con game known as three-card monte. It illustrates how experts fool people with a combination of sleight of hand and psychology and managed to entertain and hook them for the duration of their scam. Profusely illustrated, the book covers closed and open monte, equipment needed, the sleight of hand moves, hooks and come-ons, psychology and shilling, spieling the broads (monte patter), three-card monte in film, monte and the law with much reference to the grift and the magic. The Appendix covers Canada Bill's Rube Act, Devol's Bent Corner and Pencil Mark, along with more specialized version of the game. If there's any area of this game you need to know about, you're sure to find it in this work. 170 pages, 8x11 format, spiralbound, 2002.
