Here is a man who is reputed to have turned $50 into $40 million over a three year period.
Seems like some guys have all the luck. Quote:

Using 'daub'? On black jack tables maybe.
I would be interested to hear what system you guys think he was running... |

By the way, in another follow up article which I don't have readily at hand, someone who knows him stated that he has no regard for money at all, which is one reason why he lost all $40 million back. Now he has to start all over again.

Even if he did sell him it, he knows better then to post that on this forum.

If Archie got caught using some commercially available luminous marking system, it's as "on-topic" as it gets for this forum.
You know, a guy could always answer the question with "nope, absolutely nothing to do with me"....and it's over and done with. |

To my knowledge almost all marked cards products in the USA come with a warning NOT to use them for gambling. Marked cards are for entertainment purposes only (ie. magic)
Many Asian, and some international companies actually encourage and tell people to use this and other technology for cheating.... I my opinion the seller has no way of knowing how someone (magician), may use the products. Unless the seller actually tells people to cheat. But, using these technologies in a casino is especially dumb because casinos are educated and know what they are looking for....they keep their ear to the underground to learn what is new. Casinos also communicate to each other and know faces, discuises, etc. There was a recent bust on Conn. because someone recognized a mug shot for casino down south...so, they watched him more carefully.
