Formerly published under the title How to Cheat at Cards this is an updated version released under the title How to Cheat at Poker. The new version includes T.U.T., 50 pages by Chris Stanislas, his first and only publication.
The ultimate guide to learning all of the techniques for cheating at card games ...
An insight into the mind, mechanics and devilry of a card cheat.
"...It was 13 years ago today when I almost lost my life cheating at cards, and what more poignant a day to release a book on the subject. It is a hope that How to Cheat at Cards will be one of my final publications on deception with playing cards. The book began in 1995 as The Card Cheat Handbook and as it offers no new light on card table artifice, it always remained in my private journals. As I dedicate more and more time to other obsessions in the deceptive practices, I am inevitably moving slowly away from the small branch of deception with playing cards, and this is a book that I would have regret never sharing during my time in the art.
What you will read in this book is not original, such techniques have been published for hundreds of years, yet rarely taught directly from experience. It is not my goal to offer a profound study or revelations of any kind, I simply offer a detailed exposure of the techniques that I have been successful with, refined and sharpened at poker tables over fifteen years..." - D. Madison 18th August 2011
