Lecture Notes

This page is for those of you with an interest in advanced card techniques (for demos and stunts) used by professional magicians — and one or two cheats looking to put the hurt on a buddy. These booklets are “lecture notes” normally sold in exclusive workshops and will require you to have a solid knowledge of card table sleights.

Along with a range of “gambling demos”, Things That Go Bump In the Night includes some anecdotes and stories about cheats drawn from Andrew’s travels and contacts, and explains a classic method of cheating with a marked deck. A small taste of what will soon be available in Thieving Bastards.

ERRATA: for the ‘Bump’ notes, there is a small error on page 39. You do not need to crimp the packet you are holding. Instead, after the shuffle on page 40, cut to the red ace with “the work” and you are set for the deal.
