Hey guys. We should compile a list of the most essential sleights to learn in order to cheat at poker and maybe the best variations types of that sleight. I'll start it off.
False shuffles Mucking Riffle stacks Nail Marking Peaks Blind Cuts Cut locations Palming Stock shuffles Cull shuffles Deck switches I think those are the more important ones. I'm not sure what the best ways of doing them are though. I think that the Zarrow shuffle is the best way to have a go at a false shuffle. I'm not sure though. Please tell me if I was wrong about any of the above sleights or missed any out. Or if you think that there is a particular peak or muck or whatever that is the best. Thanks in advance for the help =). |

Sinch, there is no such thing as the essential sleights and certainly your list is not essential.
I recommend you study the game and become intimate with it. |

Your question is something time will tell. also there are better shuffles than the zarrow, yes its good, but there are so few who can actually do it well - gambles and magicians.
"theres a lot of good card magic in that book, unfortunately you have to have skill to do most of it."

Actually, kcg, false deals and punch work are "NOT" essentials either.
Having a thorough knowledge of the game is the essential one should have. |

Talking about the Zarrow, David Ben's article in Genii was superb.

Magician8 your post history shows you don't know. I strongly urge you to sit in silence on this topic... don't get cocky! getting cocky is a sure way for folks not to let you in on other things

Not cocky, I just don't like generalizations.

You're right, 8. I was generalizing. I guess I'm an idiot. Sorry. Please forgive me.
I'm getting old and stupider by the minute. Jeff |
