Would a gambler from the U.K. or Australia refer to certain moves and/or situations using completely different phraseology? I would guess it would be quite likely for some expressions but members from the UK and Austrialia would be better able to answer that.

I think some of your posts on the Kennedy Center Deal thread (and others) are among the very best I have read anywhere on the Café. I (for one) hope to learn much more from you. Please keep writing and sharing. Thank your for the very kind compliment. I'll try my best.

(ie. Does anyone use strippers to cut cards "out of play" and use this knowkedge as an advantage, etc ?) Long Island, New York

Tommy mentionned they were called combination strippers. If the reference is from the 50-60s when you had shops like the KC Cards and HC Evans, I was under the impression that combination strippers were in fact bellies that you could pull from the side (for example the aces) and another card (ex: kings) from the end ? Does anybody know what types of strippers were sold by the said shops ? I will definitely try to find the video... Slim

tommy Eternal Order Devil's Island 15717 Posts	Posted: Aug 29, 2012 11:07 am 0 They KC etc sold all sorts of strippers belly etc and you cound get all sorts of combinations from them but the things that are being called N strippers, we called combination strippers, and I am merely refering to the people I knew who showed me them. They were using them not in poker games but in three card brag games. A game which was a popular game, in the Foreign Legion clubs in particular. A fellow in the magic shop actually used to make them for them. I have never used them myself in any game. If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it. Tommy
