Comment: Color photos throughout.This e-book clearly
presents Lee Asher's version of the 3 Card Monte. Since the main
part
of the effect uses no gaffs, the spectator always has a chance of
being
right, but Lee's presentation almost guarantees this won't happen,
and
even provides a move in case it does. The "Ripped" climax is a
great
idea. Recommended.

9 Description of Effect: brief intro
11 Introduction: What is different about Catch 33 and an overview of
the manuscript

19 Hype: the basic toss explained in detail, along with what to do
in

29 Mid-Air Laydown: another toss

another wrong card (double whammy)
39 Grecian Turn (Lee Asher and Dan Harlan): The Monte card
is turned sideways so the spectator can't miss

51 Ripped: The finale: a corner is ripped off the Monte card and
handed
to the spectator, the spectator chooses the ripped card, but it is
not
the Monte card. The Monte card is unharmed, and the corner the
spectator holds matches the tabled card!
