http://www.lybrary.com/index.php?cPath=35 Copyright © 2010 Lybrary.comJuicing a deck of cards is a professional marking system that is only visible to the trained eye. A good recipe of effective juice is very hard to come by. Friendships have been destroyed over such secrets. Some shops are selling already juiced decks or juice filled in little bottles often at prices that make you think gold and diamond dust is part of the juice.
<p>
In this ebook you will get a professional working recipe. You will learn how to apply it and how to read it. You get an easy but effective marking system to mark the entire deck. And you get several effects to apply your new knowledge on.
<p>
Alan Rorrison is tipping his own recipe which he created by testing a lot and knowing a lot about this subject. The ingredients are not exotic chemicals but ordinary household items readily available to anybody. The marking system he explains is easy to remember, but highly effective and all you need. Of course, you can use many other marking systems or even come up with your own.
<p>
Plus you get four wonderful effects:
<p>
<b>Pulse:</b> You are able to find a selected and lost card by using your spectators pulse. Impossible? Of course not.
<p>
<b>Pokerd Out:</b> Your spectator and yourself choose 5 random face down cards to try and get the best five-card stud hand. The cards being face down you can win or loose however many times you please - a stunner!
<p>
<b>To loose, me? Not!</b> You offer a game of chance to your spectator. If he can make you end up with a black card instead of a red in a small packet of cards you buy him all his drinks all night. If he looses he buys you one! You will never buy a drink again.
<p>
<b>Synchronicity:</b> Your ever-co-operative spectator is good enough to remove three red cards and three black cards from your deck. He then makes a second similar pile of six and chooses which one you get and which one he gets. You both shuffle your packets and then slowly deal your cards into parallel rows. Amazingly both sets of cards are in the same red-black order.

J. Liebling.<p>Often referred to as 'Liebling lowlife pieces,' the essays in <i>The Telephone Booth Indian</i> boisterously celebrate raffishness. A. J. Liebling appreciated a good scam and knew how to cultivate the scammers. Telephone Booth Indians (entrepreneurs so impecunious that they conduct business from telephone booths in the lobbies of New York City office buildings) and a host of other petty nomads of Broadway - with names like Marty the Clutch and Count de Pennies - are the protagonists in this incomparable Liebling work.<p>In <i>The Telephone Booth Indian</i>, Liebling proves just why he was the go-to man on New York lowlife and con culture; this is the master at the top of his form, uncovering scam after scam and writing about them with the wit and charisma that established him as one of the greatest journalists of his generation and one of New York's finest cultural chroniclers.http://www.lybrary.com/telephone-booth-indian-p-4209.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/telephone-booth-indian-p-4209.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <p><I>McGoorty</I> is master billiards writer Robert Byrne’s racy account of the life of Danny McGoorty, a billiards champion of that bygone era when cue artists were often scam artists and pool rooms were held to be dens of iniquity. Hustler and hobo, womanizer and fashion plate, McGoorty was at once eyewitness to Capone’s Chicago and the feats of greats like Willie Hoppe and Willie Mosconi. In an all-American voice at once sarcastic, profane, humorous, and chock full of colorful lingo, he relates his colorful and seedy life and times with a unique style and brio.</p>
<blockquote>
<i>“Pool hustler, hobo, alcoholic, ladies’ man, and tournament player... McGoorty was a Runyonesque character and a first-rate raconteur. The result is a memoir that should rack up many readers, even among those that don’t know a cue from a swizzle stick.”</i> - Publishers Weekly
<p>
<i>“At times funny, occasionally filthy, here and there exaggerated, but it’s an entertaining story of a guy who doesn’t try to pass himself off as any sort of giant at the table: just a fellow who loved the game.”</i> - Willie Mosconi, nineteen-time world straight pool champion
</blockquote>http://www.lybrary.com/mcgoorty-pool-room-hustler-p-2062.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/mcgoorty-pool-room-hustler-p-2062.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST This is a pre-Erdnase description of moves and ruses to cheat at the card table by an unnamed 'retired professional'. However, <a href="http://www.lybrary.com/barton-whaley-m-191.html"><u>Bart Whaley's</u></a> research revealed that this retired professional was Gerrit M. Evans, that his real name was most likely Edward M. Grandin and that Evans/Grandin was not a professional gambler. (Bart is working on an upcoming book about Evans - <i>The Mysterious Gambler</i>.)
<br><br>
This ebook was created from the 1868 edition. There is also an earlier 1865 edition. The 1868 faked edition drops the name of the author who is, of course, Evans/Grandin, pretends that the "anonymous" author is a "retired" gambler, which of course, Evans/Grandin was not, and adds a section giving an incorrect description of "Three Card Monte".
<br><br>
The description reads:
<blockquote>
A complete and scientific expose of the manner of playing all the various advantages in the games of poker, all-fours, euchre, vingt-un, whist, cribbage, etc., as practiced by professional gamblers upon the uninitiated.
Together with a brief analysis of legitimate play. By a retired professional.

It starts with an intro by Nate Leipzig, includes a definition of gambling terms and goes on to explain moves, routines and schemes to work the Three Card Monte. John Scarne was a master in performing and demonstrating this sucker effect. Learn everything about it in this digital reproduction, either to be aware of the various ways this can be played and thus be protected, or to learn to perform it for entertainment purposes.
<br><br>
<i>1st edition ~1930s, 42 pages.</i>http://www.lybrary.com/three-card-monte-p-777.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/three-card-monte-p-777.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST This is probably the most important work John Scarne wrote. It is complete and authoritative. In this revised edition John provides the reader with a complete look at the world of dice, including for the first time an insider's view of how dice games are played at the Atlantic City casinos.
<br><br>
Scarne covers the history of modern dice and their earliest uses in games, and then analyzes the mathematics behind gambling to give players a solid foundation in odds and percentages. The most popular forms of dice games are then studied in detail. Bank Craps Las Vegas style gets full treatment with coverage of everything from setting limits, the bank craps table and the different bets to tips on how to play the game sensibly, how to spot a crooked casino and how Las Vegas casinos operate. Open or Money Craps (the private game of craps) is discussed, and the author shows how to spot hustlers and chumps wherever games are played.
<br><br>
Scarne also takes a look at illegal craps and why it is such big business, exposing the gimmicks used and types of people who work this kind of game. Several chapters concentrate on cheats, the ways dice may be fixed and how to recognize a crook at work.
<br><br>
For the system player, there is a full evaluation of all the known systems, especially Scarne's own Bank Crap system.
<br><br>
The book also covers popular dice games other than craps, including Backgammon, Chuck-A-Luck, The Cross on the Cage, Crown and Anchor, Klondike, Raffles, Poker Dice, Baseball and many more, with correct odds for all games using 2, 3, 4 or 5 dice. Here too are Scarne's own games: Scarney Dice, Skarney, Skarney Gin and Scarney Baccarat. There's a glossary of dice terms, a guide to calculating the average number of rolls needed to effect a winning or losing decision and tables of odds and percentages for easy reference.
<br><br>
<i>Scarne on Dice</i> is the best investment any dice player could ever make. It's like having the master himself at your elbow whenever the cubes roll.

Many of these ploys are still used today in one form or another. He helped pioneer the many subleties of "street selling" and "percentage moves." His self-taught mastery of man's basic needs enabled him to manipulate people into buying things, sometimes using their own greed as his tool. Must reading for those interested in studying a true American phenomenon - "The pitch man."

It is unique in that it has the only written description of the coin purse swindle - complete with photographs. Many of these cons are being used today, some with minor changes and some exactly as they were played when Rich Uncle was written. There are monte mobs working today in the same manner they worked a hundred years ago.

Great stories about pickpockets, burglars, bunco men, thiefs, and others. Houdini collected interesting cases talking to detectives, and police chiefs. The book describes the methods used to scam innocent victims. Some of these schemes are still popular, which shows again, that one can learn a lot from the past.

A must read for any card magician or aspiring gambling expert and an indespensable reference book. Until today it is not known who the real author was. Several theories are circulated but none can prove its correctness beyond a shadow of a doubt. See for example the 1999 December issue of Magic (page 67) for more details. Was it E. S. Andrews or W. E. Sanders? Nobody knows, and most likely nobody will ever know.
