From my point of view anyone who is know to be able to handle card with magic, rises suspicion when playing cards, especially when you get good hands in consecutive rows, at least it happens to me so when I play they don't let me handle the cards. I bealive it would depends on the game to, some of them are pure luck.

In any "real" poker tournament/game (at a casino or major event), players never handle any cards except the ones given them by the dealer.

I wish, on average I think I lose more than I win.

I actually don't know how to play any card games (except for Klondike Solitaire). Obviously, I know what many Poker hands are as they are central to many effects. I've also learned most of the "lingo" associated with Poker and Blackjack primarily for performance effect. There is a difference between a magician and a card mechanic (though some individuals possess both skills).
That said, given the opportunity, I legitimately would refuse to cheat at a game of chance - unless I was confident that I was being "hustled" in some way. Most card games are for fun, and there's no fun in cheating. The one exception would be MagicJuggler's instance - entertaining a child by helping him or her to "win." It's very rewarding for a child to be able to do better than an adult at something. If you're playing repeat games and the child just isn't having luck, why not edge the game in their favor? |

None of this, of course, makes less pleasant the standard joke in which the magicican, in the middle of a card routine, says off-handedly to a spectator, "Do you play cards?" To which the spectator replies "Not with YOU!"
