For those who don't know, Ben's sweet effect "Kosher Monte" was published in this month's issue of MAGIC Magazine! I didn't know this beforehand so it came as a shock.

I recommend picking up a copy of the June MAGIC and learning this awesome little effect. I also laughed at Joshua Jay's introduction to the effect. "Ben Train is an... interesting dude".

Congratulations on that Ben! Cool stuff.

The story behind that trick is a funny one.

It was originally titled, and still is, "Three-Card Monte Burns". Josh decided to publish the effect but decided to change the name. He refused to tell me what it would be titled as in the magazine, and every time I asked about it he laughed.

So, it was a surprise to me too!

Also, read the intro with a grain of salt. Josh and I are buddies so he's having some fun with me in the write-up. I'll get him back though, oh just you wait!

Ben

That's what I figured. Made me laugh!

I liked the name Three Card Monte Burns... I remember you showing me this on more than one occasion and I loved it.
