Since a lot of people interested in card magic also seem to be interested in gambling, I thought I'd pass this along.
http://www.s-a-g-e.com/blackjack_info/bj_test/Bjtest.html It allows you to practice blackjack basic strategy. For those not familiar with it, "basic strategy" is the optimal method of play (without counting). Once you learn basic strategy you can refine it later by learning to count. Even if you never learn to count though, basic strategy minimizes the house's edge. If you're going to play blackjack, you might as well learn to play it well. Paul

Weird I just got like two pairs of 6s in a row. I split on one and it said correct. I then split on the next one and it said hitting was the correct answer.

I see a chap split twice (so he had 3 7's) he then got 21 on all three hands. This was recorded and shown on TV. He is a math genius and was experimenting with his number skills. When he just relaxed he got it.

What was the dealer's up card each time? That effects the decision.
Sixes should be split against 4-6.

It "affects" the decision too.

Also found this one. This one is nice because it plays like actual blackjack, instead of just a test.
