Is sleight of hand really the way to get the money or should we all stop wasting so much time and starting to use technology for our advantage? The casinos use it to protect themselves so why shouldn't we use it to cheat them?

The short answer probably would be "Whatever gets the Money"
One time, when I was young, I botched a sleight so bad, Vernon, Marlo & Miller rolled over in their graves. But I didn't see Elmsley, probably because he was behind the others.

There is a time and a place for both. People obviously don't learn. In another thread around here someone said loaded dice were found in Egyptians tombs. Whatever works and whatever suits you are and your style the best. I think there will always be a time and a place for some good ol sleight of hand.

If you don’t want to waste your time, my advice is read, every carefully, and in context, anything and everything, Forte says. You could start with this for example:

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

One line poker is wide open to be cheated with technology and a little imagination.

His profile says he lives in Ukraine. Ilya, from what you are saying it sounds that corruption is such a way of life in your country right now that cheating is like "legal"? Please elaborate

Quote: I cann't say, that cheating is absolutely legal. But if they see a cheat, they will just tell him - "go away!". Nobody will call police. Because police doesn't understand, what is card cheating. So it can proof nothing. Ukrainian police is not FBI:)

I'm sure that there are laws against cheating there. You take that much money, and the interest to turn it into more money, and you have a good reason to prosecute cheaters to the fullest extent of the law.
