The Big Blind Friday Ep. 36

Your weekly dose of magic from around the world from BBM

Hey Owen,

This week we take a dive deep into the world of casinos and those that try to beat the house. If you're interested in playing cards, then you've fancied at one point the thought of how it would be to cheat at poker. Well, some of these guys do just that, while others try to catch the culprits.

I did not include in here "Amoralman" by Derek DelGaudio where he talks about his journey as a card mechanic. That's a great book and if you still have not read it, then run to the store and get yourself a copy.

🎙️ 1. Catching Card Cheats

“It’s the opposite of riding a bicycle – it’s a knife that I have to sharpen every day,” he says.

Magician Harry Milas talks about his journey as a card mechanic, why he hates casinos and why he's chosen to teach magic during his "The Unfair Advantage" show.
