If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

"Keep in mind, the casinos had no cameras. My dad did what’s typically called ‘surveillance’ now. He was one of the ‘wise guys’ that worked the catwalks on the top of the casinos and looked for cheaters. Nobody else knew what they were looking for, so they needed cheaters to look for cheaters."
It might seem that it is better than cameras. As far as I know the cameras got very slow frame rate. But thru logical thinking there is an assumption that I am 100% wrong. "meant I would stand outside of a blackjack pit or right outside on the street and have a fake fight with somebody so that everybody’s heads would turn. Then the guys would go into the pits and actually take cards off the podium so that they could mark them and get them back into the games." No moves. Pure Con. "They were playing with computers and they were shuffle tracking before shuffle tracking was even known." Has this something to do with thread "High-tech card cheating device exposed"? According to the flow of the text (I might be wrong) the guy is talking about early 90's. Never would thought of that (I mean it seems early). Would love someone to elaborate on my comments. Thank you for sharing tommy. |

I have read his book but I have never been to Vegas. If ever I did go there then I would love to hire him as a guide, an escort. One may not be a fish but whenever one goes somewhere new one feels like a fish out of water. It is always good to have a local by your side who knows the ropes. When we were doing business on the continent, we used to hire a hooker as an interpreter and guide.
