My suggestion is to make another forum for gambling magic. A place where Magicians can talk about gambling tricks - and the use of gambling magic, poker deals, three card monte, shellgame and other props. And talk about how they are used to "entertain" people.

This is a compleatly different look at magic as it is related to these props using them for entertainemt rather than gambling and advantage play. Different than the gambling spot and in my opinion this would be the forum the gambling spot should have been.

Cheers!

No it isn't.

This is the reason why I suggested a gambling magic form seperated from the gambling spot.

That certainly helps frame many of your earlier posts in an understandable light Cag.

I think many who post here refrain from ever claiming they demonstrate "actual" hustler prowess for the very reason you've highlighted.........nobody here is a hustler.

It's a forum full of students of history, some of who can do the moves......but who don't "move". The forum is also trespassed on occasionally by magicians, which is the source of much frolicking for all.

Because nobody here is a hustler, it would be my preference if you just posted as you always did, as often as you always posted......but knowing that we know we're not hustlers, and we know that moves discussed or demonstrated are (for the most part) not completely accurate representations of moves under fire as would be used by working cheats.

I say "for the most part" because I know there are many references through the back pages of the forum which do contain accurate information as would pertain to a hustlers knowledge........not "how they think", but a bit of the history as to where some of their moves or gaffs actually came from.

This above line reads to me as if magicians are not welcome in the gambling spot. And explains a lot over the past five years. It also in my opinion gets in the way of having conversations about gambling moves when they are applied to magic.

So if magicians are not welcome in the gambling spot. And are the source of their "much frolicking" that in my opinion leads to locked threads. I suggest that the magicians get their own place in the Café where they can talk about poker deals, bridge deals, bottoms, seconds, using flourishes when presenting a poker deal and how all this can be worked into "entertainment".

A big difference of what is being talked about in the gambling spot.

Exactly, slyhand! "The Gambling Spot" says it all.
