Luke Jonas Regular user Yorkshire UK 191 Posts	Posted: May 14, 2017 08:21 am 0 I'm building a routine based around the great hustler, Titanic Thompson. Are there any other routines or effects currently out there which are based on this subject? I have looked around and cant seem to find any, its predominantly a gambling based routine that I have in mind. Many thanks, Luke Jonas.

Titanic was well known for his outrageous bets. Remember, he only made bets he knew he would win. Then Chef Anton for his pool table material, because Titanic was major pool hustler. Three shells, card gambling, fast and lose... What are your goals? A play? A biographical show? How accurate do want to be or just in spirit of Titanic Thompson? Do you want to be able to stay in character or do a informal demonstration of the type situation Titanic would go.

Thanks for the input, I'm not trying to build a full show its just a demonstration of how to be guaranteed to win in the style of Titanic.

I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.
Big Daddy Cool Inner circle 1604 Posts	Posted: Jun 15, 2018 04:13 pm 0 Hey gang! I published a script for Milt Kort/Dai Vernon's Peripatetic Walnuts in my book Theatrical Magic that is based around Titanic Thompson. You can see the video of the routine here: https://youtu.be/_KXPfpZ26Qk We'll catch ya on the Back of the Cereal Box! Johnny www.johnnybeyond.com
