This book is for casino personel... if magicians buy this, it might make them confused since 98% of magicians that do gambling demonstrations don't even know the rules of the various games.

I am thinking to install this big book in my library. Knowing cheating methods can help us to present our gambling routine more legitimately.

The late John Scarne always said that most card mechanics were the "magicians of the underworld," because they could perform sleights more indetectibly under more pressure than most magicians -- and he was right. If you mess up a magic trick, you'd just be embarrassed. But if a card cheat gets caught switching cards, it could be a real threat to his health! Incidentally, if you are interested in this type of information, you may want to read John Scarne's autobiography, THE ODDS AGAINST ME, which was published by Simon & Shuster in 1966. It's out of print now, but you should be able to pick up a used copy fairly cheaply -- take a look on ABE, the Advanced Book Exchange database; point your Web browser to http://dogbert.abebooks.com.

Actually 95% of all statistics are made up anyway.

Its pointless talking about statistics because 85% of people don't believe in them

Although this might be very interesting, it might not be for magicians. Maybe more for gambling fanatics.

Magicians should be able to get some very useful but seldom-known information from this book.

There is a lot of things that magicians can use, the only problem is if you are showing a veteran gambler, they might ask questions pertaining to procedures of certain games and that's when you hear a loooooong deafening silence from the magician..

Does anyone know if this is being sold exclusivly by elmagic shop or is this going to be sold elsewhere?? I did a google search and couldn't find any other places advertising it. Its kinda weird if it is being sold exclusivly through a magic dealer.

No, it's not going to be sold exclusively through elmagicshop. I'm not sure what other magic dealers, if any, will be carrying it though.

Elmagicshop will be the only magic dealer to carry it but it will be available from the following Gamblers Book stores.
Gambler's Book Club 630 S. 11th St. Las Vegas, NV 89101 (702) 382-7555 http://www.gamblersbook.com Gambler's General Store 800 S.

Probably because they're not taking preorders. Fwee listed elmagic and GBS as the places taking preorders.
