The popular Universal Waite Tarot Deck is now available in a 2-1/4
x 3-1/2" pocked size. 78 drawings by Pamela Coleman Smith have been
beautifully recolored by Mary Hanson-Roberts. The deck is packaged
in a deluxe stand-up box and is an ideal tool for meditation and
readings. Includes booklet of instruction.
A famous card expert demonstrates tricks that have left theater audiences amazed, and that card-playing professionals have used profitably. It is not a book for beginners. But these shifts, palms, glides, false shuffles, cuts, fans, steals and spectacular deceptions will help those with basic card expertise reach new levels of performance. Over 300 photos show Buckley's exact hand positions during each move.
Casino games and traditional card games have rich and idiosyncratic
histories, complex subcultures and player practices, and facilitate
the flow of billions of dollars each year through casinos and card
rooms, and between professional players and amateurs. They have
nevertheless been overlooked by game scholars due to the negative
ethical weight of “gambling” – with such games pathologized
and labelled as deviance or mental illness, few look beyond to
unpick the games, their players, and their communities. The Casino,
Card and Betting Game Reader offers 25 chapters studying the
communities playing these games, the distinctive cultures and
practices that have emerged around them, their activities and
beliefs and interpersonal relationships, and how these games
influence – both positively and negatively – the lives and
careers of millions of game players around the world. It is the
first of a new series of edited collections, Play Beyond the
Computer, dedicated to exploring the play of games beyond computers
and games consoles.
