Gambling Demos, Gambling and just cheating in general deserves it's own forum in the Special Interests category. How come there are forums for Hypnosis and Flourishing, but none for Gambling? It's a travesty! Gambling is a very important branch of magic and cheating in general, I am sure many people want one.

OK, I’m going to jump in here…

Now hypnosis are part of a lot of magic shows, at least part of the routines. Flourishing is done in almost every show that has cards or coins.

Now, what magic shows have gambling as part of them? And cheating? (Well, I guess we can say we cheat a lot of things, but general card cheating…).

Personally I don’t think either gambling or cheating have any place in magic (and isn’t what this site is for). I can’t say anything bad about gambling, I’ve been known to play a game or two, bet of the dogs and ponies. Cheating on the other hand, is reprehensible (and I might add, normally illegal). Who do you cheat, little old ladies, friends, people who can’t afford to lose their money? These are the normal people who get cheated (little old men too).

Just my two cents worth,
Dave

Thanks for the input and we will give this some thought.
