Richard marcus who wrote a book about his life pastposting adventures also happend to use that same juce developed by the optomitrist. the dye evaporated within 45 min of being applied and left no residue. the people using the dye got caught but he avoided arrest. the pit boss saw the unsual way in which they were betting and getting the cards they needed and quickly put them under inspection before it could evaporate.

"The Worlds Greatest Gambling Scams" was not the name of the show by the way.


The optomitrist got got away with $10 Mil over two years. They had one of the girls on who he used to mark the cards in play. She got paid a million over the two years and none of this crew got caught. I thought that girl telling the story was the best part of show. The way she told the story was great, she loved it.

I think that same girl was the person that richard marcus delt with!
