Fontaine or Scarlet Utility?

therealcardini · Feb 15, 2014

Which one should I get? They seem to do about the same thing. Is one harder than the other or any more useful?

I don't own Scarlet Utility but Fontaine isn't very difficult to master.

I am about to get Scarlet but I of course have Fontaine. And at first I thought it was a little hard but it was my first ever trick i bought. And it has a ton of applications. But Scarlet looks like it does too. Get both

I have a much greater favor to Mr. Mueller's Fontaine, The Scarlet Utility is just to hurried in appearance for my tastes.

I don't have any info about Scarlet Utility, but Fontaine is a great move that is easy to master, has lots of applications, and has a nice unhurried performance, and a not so awkward handling

Im trying to work out if that was sarcasm or not... cos if it wasnt, then you have a very warped perspective of easy to master, or your card handling ability is that of the devil.

It only took about an hour or two of practice, I do have weird fingers though, so it may not be as easy as it was for me to master for you. I was referring mostly to the move, the routines take a bit more time to perfect, about a week or so(for me). I don't know how long it takes for you, but if you have marbles, this sleight is easy in comparison.
