This heritage edition is a precise reprint of the much-lauded 1891
English translation of this seminal text. Written by French master
magician Robert Houdin, and translated by Joseph Foster, this book
is truly a two-edged sword. A thorough treatise on protection from
cheating card sharpers, the book delves into the very mechanics of
the cheats themselves, thus making it as useful for the budding
card-sharper as it is for the honest gamber seeking to protect from
cheating. Within its 288 pages, the reader will learn various
scams, shams and confidence tricks and in doing so can protect
himself from that villainous scoundrel, the gambler who never seems
to lose.
