Inspired by that cheeky street scam, Disk Monte, Jeki Yoo's Coaster Monte gives this old trick a playful and interactive makeover. It's designed to be easy to grasp and visually impactful, ensuring your audience is hooked right till the surprising finale.
The Concept:
Armed with three coasters—one red and two blue, all looking suspiciously like poker chips—spectators are dared to track down the elusive red one. Spoiler alert: it’s never where they think it is. Classic misdirection at its finest!
The Climax:
When it’s time to up the ante, Jeki plonks a poker chip right on the red coaster, letting the audience follow it like hawks. But in a jaw-dropping twist, the red coaster ends up somewhere completely unexpected, leaving them slack-jawed.
So, Why Coaster Monte?
Coaster Monte isn’t just a magic trick; it’s a whole routine that’s compact, easy to perform, and visually striking, adding a sprinkle of wonder and laughter to any show.
Key Features:
Compact Design: Comes in a sleek tin case, making it the perfect sidekick for any performance. Ideal for those walkaround gigs where having a light load is crucial.
Purposeful Design: With its casual coaster look, it fits right in at pubs or parties, letting you spin yarns about gambling or street cons without raising eyebrows.
Easy Handling: Thanks to the clever gimmick, this routine is a doddle, even for those who haven’t quite mastered their sleight of hand yet.
Surprising Climax: The suspense builds as the audience follows the coasters, only to be left wide-eyed when the red coaster pops up in a totally different spot.
Play Big, Engage More: Coaster Monte can draw in larger crowds than your typical Three-Card Monte or Three-Shell Game. Those bigger props are spot on for parlor shows or small stages.
Interactive and Engaging: Get the audience involved in the fun challenge of spotting the red coaster. This keeps them on their toes and adds to the mystery and enjoyment.
Quick Reset: Practical for the real world, Coaster Monte resets in a jiffy, so you can dazzle different groups back to back without a hitch.

Important Notes:
For the best results, perform the Coaster Monte routine on a mat or pad to keep everything flowing smoothly. And do us a favour—avoid putting wet or scalding cups on the coasters; they aren't waterproof.
