I’m for one just happy that a good bit of footage got on our public broadcaster (maybe a bit harsh but Aussie tv can be...well interesting).

The greater mystery is why Cag and all the other none hustler's, magicians, demonstrators, and hobbyist on this site, do not show their face.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Does that include you tommy? Smile

Besides, only active professional card cheats show their face on video and on TV programs. I thought you knew that.

Is there any way for a german to view the full video of DOC? Except illegal ways.

I would also love to see the full video, if any is available outside of Australia.

@JFX and Kimura: It seems like the link at the start of this thread is a YouTube link. You mean to say that YouTube videos cannot be seen in some major countries outside of the US?

Cag: I'm referring to the full segment, which I understand is longer.

As far as I can find, there's no full segment (or full episode) available online. There's probably somewhere it can be pirated but I'd rather avoid that.

@Cagliostro: No the YouTube video is fine.
However, apparently this is only a small excerpt from the full video which aired on TV. I'm interested in the full video, i.e., the full clip featuring DOC.

Can't view full video? Maybe our resident IT, AMcD, can do some magic with this?

To clarify, as mentioned earlier, the full segment is around 7 minutes. The youtube is a preview and a minute long.

It isn't so much a technical issue as an availability one :p

I sure can, but you perfectly know it would be illegal.

On their site (or an ABC's partner site, maybe) you can buy the episode I believe. I say "believe" because it doesn't open the Google Play page, because it's not available in my country. Italy is Narnia.

With Doc's agreement, those who want to see the clip should contact me.

I suggest some form of politeness in your message...

I didn't see any mention of dice in this thread, but noticed some on the table. Does the full segment touch on dice, or is it possible there was another segment taped that will air on a future episode?

Also, how do you think it comes to pass that DOC ends up on an Australian TV show like this? Not making a judgment, whatever DOC is or is not has no bearing on me. I'm just wondering how it happens. Does Galena just put out the word in the magic community that he want's to do a segment like this and eventually winds up being directed to DOC?

In the clip it appears that he got in through Meir Yedid.

In addition, don't know if this is true, but I heard that one of the guys behind the scenes of the show say that DOC was looking to get out of cheating and moving towards instruction. This is supposedly why DOC agreed to appear on camera.

I post this answer, from my old friend Doc, who is banned from here (which is precious by the way, because this place was created for him... anyway!).

"Yes I would like to get out of gambling and be self sufficient like all of us would like to be but to move towards instruction is a definite no unless someone paid me enough to get out. Now as far as agreeing to being on camera, the agreement was only conducive if it was only going to be shown in Australia/Europe; not America."

Out of curiosity, I'll follow up with James Galea's consultant next month.

I think it would be highly unlikely he could make very much teaching what he knows. In the magician/hobbyist community there is ample instructional information in book and video form for the type "private game" moves he does and most in this group really want to know things they can use for magician "gambling demonstrations."

I would surmise the money to be made for gambling chicanery instruction is in the casino gaming expose and procedure arena. There are some pretty knowledgeable people who do this already, and have the reputation, background and credentials to do so. I don't think DOC is knowledgeable or qualified in this arena and probably would not have much to offer in the casino venue.

As far as where the TV show he appeared in will be viewed, there is no guarantee it cannot be seen in other venues, including America. I'm sure he is smart enough to know that already.

I know from personal exchanges with Doc dating back to the G and F days that Doc's skill level and overall knowledge on the subject of dice is, by itself, enough to generate a ton of instructional material that currently doesn't exist out there.

Some of the information Doc has on dice would likely be brand new information for 99% of the folks on this very forum.

Indeed, if Doc was to offer instruction on dice, you'd be nuts not to take him up on it!
I have a fairly decent, and somewhat difficult to acquire library specifically on dice, and I know I'd pay hard cash for anything that Doc might ever put out on the subject of dice Smile
