    "If you wanna leave the casino with a small fortune, bring a large one" smiles - pure gold!
  • @goblinzaku6211
    He looks EXACTLY like what a person who calls themselves a casino cheating expert would look like.
  • I literally know 0 card games except Uno, never want to set foot in a casino but watching an expert explain a trade is always fascinating
  • Not only the guy instantly notice the cheating technique, but he reproduce it and break it down for us. Such a great man and a great video
  • @nowknow
    This guy has to be the world's greatest uncle.
  • @alt_warn4211
    I like that he tried to relate best he could to the movies, instead of just dismissing them as being Hollywood or whatever. Most expert videos tend to do that, this is much more entertaining.
  • @c8_snow133
    The fact that even he and his wife had worked out the cheats together!!! Mind blowing this guy could go into any casino and win everything if he wanted 😂😂😂
  • @MrFancyGamer
    this guy was flawless, not only is he obviously an expert, but he’s also an amazing communicator <3
  • @SairentoII
    I don’t know a single thing about casino games/poker/etc, and yet I’m interested enough to watch a 23 minute video of a professional talking about it
  • I stopped playing cards the first time I played with a card shark, he said never play cards with someone you don’t know, he then showed me why. It was incredible to see, he was so fast you couldn’t see even when he told what to look for.
  • When he talks about the scene in 21, he's 100% right in that the movie was trying to keep things simple for the viewer. The book that 21 was based on, which was based on a true story, goes into all of the details about True Counts vs. Running Counts. Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich. Read it in high school and it's still one of my favorite books. The splitting 8s scene is a HUGE scene in the book, so I'm glad that it made it to the movie.
  • @cruizlee214
    I like how much overlap there is between cheating games and magicians tricks.
  • @shaun374
    Usually these “experts” are kind of showy hacks. But this guy was solid gold. And he was very entertaining to watch. Bring him back, please.
  • Duuude even after seeing him cheat I’m still blown away. He makes it look so natural! Such a charismatic guy and the explanations were great!
  • @ChaosChanneler
    An expert that still seems like they are having fun with their profession and enjoy teaching a thing or two about the business. Class act, please bring this man back for a second round of information as long as it's not to revealing, he is great to listen to. :D
  • @natalie5947
    This guy brought so much to the table. All the examples, all the knowledge, even an accomplice. What a great speaker and educator.
  • @JmsNmnn
    Need to bring this guy back for more! He's clearly an expert and super fascinating
  • @ulose9395
    Imagine how dangerous it would be to play cards with this guy. If he wanted to rob you blind he could with ease. Great video! 👍
  • Despite him explaining exactly what he is doing he is good enough for it to still not be visible. It's crazy how good you'd have to be to notice those tricks mid game
  • @ProdCritic
    He explained what he was doing, you even slowed down the video and I STILL couldnt even catch it sometimes lol
