The Monte Scam
The Monte scam is based on teamwork. In order for the scam to be successful, there should be at least 3-4 individuals who are closely cooperating with each other. You should keep in mind that when you see a group of people around someone who is performing this game, chances are that most of them are into the trick.
This is not the case when the game is performed by a magician for entertainment, as it is only performed by one and no money is involved.
The 3 Disk Monte performed by a magician can be very entertaining. No one walks away losing their money and their much more aware of how the game can be played on the streets.
What is the Monte Scam?
Definition: The Monte scam is a game where the operator (the scammer) has 3 disks. One of the 3 disks has a distinct mark below it (usually a white dot). The operator will initially show you the bottom of the disks and then he will shuffle the disks quickly. In order to play, you need to bet some money ( not with the magician). Then, in order to win you should pick the disk that has the mark below it (after the disks have been shuffled and without being able to see their bottom of course).
The operator (the person who manipulates the disks) is trained to shuffle the disks in such a way that you will not really be able to pick the right disk. So far everything is legit, right? So where is the scam? Well, chances are that while you are watching the game being performed (that is, you are not playing with your money yet), the operator will perform some lousy shuffling that even a kid would be able to track.
Then, the other members of the gang will bet and win money from the operator (since they are cooperating behind the scenes, nobody is really losing his own money). Seeing how easy it is to win, this will of course get you motivated to play too, but when your turn comes, the operator will put his real skills into play; chances are you will lose.
Furthermore, the scam becomes even more interesting at the point when the operator –just a few seconds before you pick a disk- consciously turns his head away from the disks (he might pretend something caught his attention or that he is coughing). Then, while the operator is not looking at the disks one of the other players will swap the positions of 2 disks. Phenomenally, you -as a player- might think that the other player did this in order to confuse/cheat the operator; this will get you motivated to put a bet too. In fact, this is all part of the trick to get you to play with your own money and eventually lose.
What you should be aware of:
Unless you want to lose some money, don’t participate in such games for money. Especially when the game is the operators ‘profession’ (that is, the operator makes a living out of the game [you can easily tell that if someone is performing such a game in the streets, he isn’t really doing it for fun]). With the exception of the working magician making his living on tips for his entertainment.
When you see various people gathered around the operator, you should realize that some of them (if not all) are scammers too, and part of the gang. Be skeptical about the intentions of people who are implicitly or explicitly trying to interact with you.
All of our 3 disk sets work like the disk sets that are used on the streets and have many new added features to be used for entertainment.
