I'm glad to have given you a foil to display your literary skills CC

Wouldn't it be funny if you had 2 or 3 teams all playing against each other without knowledge of each other's existance. Guess the collusion advange will nullify itself

Guess it would give you the same effect as playing "head-on" even though 6+ people were in the game

I hope he didn't hurt his arm patting himself on the back

Now I have not seen this dvd at all. Hate to comment in case its any good.

So in the mean time its story time kiddies.

A long while back a young man around 20 ran through all of his moves for me, quite satisfied he had only selected and perfected what was needed, instead of learning too many poorly as is the general rule. To be honest he had a couple of them better than I had seen before. He handed me the deck and I made him hold out his hand and then showed him a normal wrapped grip, to which he immediatly replied he couldn't use any of the work he took so long to learn. I said good. It won't wash except at erdnase club meetings. I told him to take a practice session and hold the cards that way. Then think of everything that he could still do and practice that.
Course I got the look like I was crazy, all the young ones give. Some of the old timers too.

We talked many times since about traveling. Staying out of the cities and just working on 1 burb and leaving the dozen or 20 others around each city fresh, so one could travel the travel the country in any direction and always have fresh unburned ground to cover. We talked about drop tubes and I showed him some old soldered brass ones. They make out of pvc pipe now.Showed him an easy way to remember were they were all hidden, since none of the money taken above expenses was ever kept, it was always dropped into a hole in the ground, waterproof and safe, not far from where it was taken. Talked some about the costume shops and how to apply skin and scars,appearance , voice and mannerism changes, as well as come up with out of style clothes at the second hand stores. How never to carry your own equipment, and only use what was supplied. How to fill a week with marks in under 48hrs. How to draw in and use other unsuspecting persons as confederates so you never had to split take. Then we had one talk, about the last run, the drop run, when they were all picked up, after laying dormant for years or even decades. Collecting each one and mailing them to the final destination so again you were never on the road with the take, and how when its done its done and its never discussed again, even with other workers after the drop run. Many more sessions later the young man shined. The polish of perfection was in the appearance of a lack of skill and advanced thought.

This was the way it was years ago and even now, today.

So I'm tole

What the **** was that all about.

I think it might have been a short look into how the grift might really look from the inside-out, yesterday and today.

Well yes, of sorts. I didn't want to knock anything I had not seen myself. the education is...a real worker A. Does not bleed casinos. B.does not sell himself out as an expert. C. never has the same name, face or address for more than a day. or D. hawk books and DVDs to folks that can't tell if what they see or read is even the truth because they have no personal experience. That is the market for these materials. While 50% is bunk, 100% should be labeled "for entertainment only" so the consumer knows the quality of what he buys is not 'usable' information and is common knowledge the day of the DVD or book release.

Still above and beyond what was just tipped previously,(read it a few times) I will repeat that I have not seen the DVD and it may offer insight to methodologies, that have never before been seen by the public. It could be high quality information too.

I'm tired of being the entertainment on this one. Who bought it and give a short review.

Interesting article about Marcus....
