Stand Up Monte by Garrett Thomas is a powerful and practical card routine that combines the excitement of gambling, hustlers, and cons with the visual magic of the classic Wildcard effect.

Garrett draws your audience into an intriguing story about games, gambling, scams and hustlers. As the story unfolds, the spectators experience eight or more surprising transpositions and transformations. Cards continually seem to change places and identities, creating one magical moment after another.

One of the greatest strengths of Stand Up Monte is that the magic does not just happen in your hands. Several magical moments take place directly in the spectator’s hands, making the routine personal, interactive, and extremely convincing.

And as the name suggests, Stand Up Monte was designed to be performed standing up. No table is required. Everything happens in your hands and the hands of your spectators, making it an excellent choice for close-up magic, strolling performances, restaurants, receptions and professional gigs.

The routine is relatively easy to perform and automatically resets. Once you have finished performing for one group, you can quickly move on to the next.

Stand Up Monte has also been extensively tested for real-world audiences. Garrett Thomas has professionally performed this routine for approximately 15 years, with more than 15,000 performances. It is no surprise that the effect became an underground favourite among many top working magicians.

You receive all the necessary materials required to perform the routine, together with comprehensive video instructions with a running time of approximately 90 minutes.

Visual, interactive and practical, Stand Up Monte is a powerful routine you can perform almost anywhere without needing a table. It could easily become one of your favourite effects to perform.
