Hi Everyone.
Here's my review for this wonderful product. It's been a while since I reviewed the last product I bought, so if I mess up a little, don't be surprised. OK here we go. The DVD is basically the same "protection" video that was produced about 20 years ago, except it's on DVD format now. The quality of the DVD is good, but the footage, again, is pretty old, so don't expect anything fancy. My opinion about George Joseph: George Joseph is an authority on gaming protection and cheating. He's all around one of my favourite guys when it comes to my favourite subject, which is gambling and cheating. He executes the moves very well. On to the DVD. George demonstrates and explains many sleight-of-hand techniques that are used to cheat at the game of Poker. You will learn false shuffles, false dealing, peeking at cards, switching cards, marking cards, controlling cards during shuffles, bend work, culling discards, crimping, palming, cold decking, false cuts, daub work, nullifying cuts, holding out, and much more. Each subject is further covered with demonstrations and discussions about related variations and techniques. The tape DOES NOT go into depth when it comes to the "expose'" part. It only goes over the basic "what happens" during this and that etc. But you should have no problem picking up the moves if you already have a background in this field. The DVD shows and exposes many moves, which is one of the great things about the DVD actually. The DVD is fairly long, about an hour, so for those who don't like gambling and cheating, I don't recommend it, cause you don't wanna be out of your mind bored for a whole hour when you're watching this. Overall, I thought it's a great DVD. The production quality could've been better, but again, the tape is from about 20 years ago, so I can't complain. Overall: 9/10 for quality (Michael, stop complaining)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michael |

In particular were these parts any good… did you learn anything new?
“Culling Discards” “Controlling cards during shuffles”

Hey Tommy. Yes I did learn a couple new things. Surprisingly, I was actually able to learn stacking, and the mucking techniques taught/shown on the DVD. As I said, the DVD is fairly easy to learn from as long as you have some background in this field. If you don't know a certain palm, for example, the mucking technique shown in the video uses a rear flat palm. If you don't know how to do it, then it'll be hard for you to pick up that move. So you do need to have a little background in this field when purchasing this DVD.
Hope that helps, Michael |

Thanks I will get one. George is cool from what I seen of him on TV but I don't know much about him. I have seen him a few times talking about casino scams and he seems to know what he is talking about.
He is in the book of cool I know that, you see a bit of him at this site. http://www.bookofcool.com/index_flash_content.htm
