    Magics relation to cheating at cards

    I perform classical card magic, give theatrical demonstrations of cheating techniques (where entertainment is more important than reality) and also perform legitimate casino security demonstrations with playing cards (where accurate information is infinitely more important than entertaining)...

    Magics relation to cheating at cards

    There isn't a shred of evidence for the claim that the book originally wasn't going to have any card magic at all. We know absolutely nothing of the author's early intentions. There is also zero evidence that he was ever a cheater (or a magician for that matter). He clearly knew something about...

    Confusion about Mysterium: Card Counting 101

    Good catch. Yes, that should have read "...the Hi Lo (and other balanced counts) needs an adjustment before it can be used at a real table." The truth is, you can bet off of the running count without converting it to a true count for balanced systems like the Hi Lo, but you lose a lot of...

    Magics relation to cheating at cards

    Alex, The problem with your claim is that several names immediately spring to mind that are still alive that refute it. Just because you aren't familiar with them or can list them yourself doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's a few that are no longer with us: Willis Kinney Francis Carlyle...

    beginner card magic questions?

    I once got this email from an interested student of magic: My response was virtually identical to Darwin's. It was: I'm pleased to see that my advice parallels Darwin's advice. Jason

    Which are the best dice set?

    There are several sizes of dice in use in casinos all over the world, but the most common size is probably 3/4 inch. That's the same as 19mm. But, since ungaffed dice are relatively inexpensive, I'd tell you to get both and get used to the difference in size and how they affect the handling and...

    Austin24, I suggest a complete grounding in the classics of magic. Books are your best bet. Look at: Expert Card Technique, Stars of Magic, Card Control by Arthur Buckley, The Card Magic of LePaul by Paul LePaul, and The Expert at the Card Table, which you already have. Inside these books...

    Casino Gaff Dice

    There is no such thing as "standard" casino dice. Some are more popular than others, but you can find at least 3 different sizes on craps tables here in Las Vegas. It sounds like you got one of the pairs of 11/16ths tops (as opposed to the more common 3/4" ones). I can assure you that 11/16ths...

    Matching dice for recent gaff dice

    formula, The two pair you bought that are in the photo above appear to have a "polished" finish (very smooth and crystal clear). The gaffed dice here on T11 are "sand" finish which are a little tougher to see through. I'm wondering if you've compared the two side-by-side to see if they are...

    Casino Gaff Dice

    Guys, Keep in mind that the reason we didn't include the matching "fronts" to go with the T's is that we didn't have any! These were purchased from the estate of a well-known (in some circles) dice maker from Michigan. We didn't have the option of ordering or sourcing any matching fronts...

    How does black magic work to ruin someone?

    You've posted a great question but in the wrong sub-forum. This clearly belongs in the coin magic section. Jason

    How is the finish applied to the cards?

    Technically speaking, the finish of a playing card has nothing to do with the chemical coatings applied to the paper. The finish is the embossing pattern that's pressed into the paper. The chemicals applied to the paper are proprietary, but are essentially printers varnishes that have existed...

    Need help with top card cover pass

    YRAMagicMan, You make a good point, but just to clarify, I didn't refuse to answer his questions because I think he should struggle for the sake of struggling. I refused to answer his questions because I'd be wasting my time (and his too) by answering questions that will probably evaporate over...

    bartnova, You aren't allowed to ask questions until you've struggled for months, not hours. Soldier on for a couple of months and then if you still have questions you can PM me directly. I'll help you however I can. Jason

    Card cheat coding systems needed...

    Craig, Don't get me wrong - there are still some guys that go it alone. Gin rummy cheaters for instance, rarely have a partner since the game is most often played heads-up! There are other types of cheaters that prefer to work without a partner: hold out men, paper players in short-handed...

    Craig, You're wrong. The vast majority of today's serious cheaters work in teams. "Single-O" cheaters are the exception. I'm not sure why you think otherwise, but you're incorrect. Jason

    Card cheat coding systems needed...

    Zero, I never mentioned the cheating or theft angle because frankly I don't care what you do with the information. If you want to cheat, that's your choice. It's not one that I recommend, but again it's your choice. I was simply asking whether your goals were to educate the poker dealers on...

    Zero, I'm curious, is your expose for this casino dealing class supposed to entertain them or educate them? From reading your post, I can't imagine that you'll be educating them, but I could be wrong. Jason
