'One of these days … a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider'
Damon Runyon, 'Guys and Dolls'

Shaun has spent a lifetime specialising in sleight of hand magic, relying on the skill of his hands rather than clever magic shop gadgets to achieve remarkable magical effects. His fascination with sleight of hand of this kind has led him to learn many of the skills of card cheats and hustlers in order to apply them to his magic - these are the techniques most people will only have ever heard about, or maybe seen in the movies, dealing off the bottom, second dealing, false shuffles and so on. If you've ever wondered if you've been cheated at cards you should ask Shaun to show you what it looks like when card sharps employ their skills.

But don’t expect to learn  how to cheat at cards that easily - many of these techniques take years to learn, and a lifetime to master, and most card cheats will specialise in a single move or technique - Shaun will show you many of these advanced card cheating techniques for your fascination and education. So the next time you find yourself playing cards against a cheat with the skills of a master at least you’ll know what you’re seeing and be able to leave the game before you lose your shirt on that once-in-a-lifetime ‘sure thing’ hand!

Oh, and you should also know that Shaun's fascination with the art of the cheat isn't confined solely to cards, just so you know never to take that bet if he offers it to you...
