Re: Darwin Ortiz R.I.P
I can't believe I misspelled CardShark. I came in and got out and didn't proofread.

Re: Darwin Ortiz R.I.P
Cardsharp changed my life. I was fortunate to be able to express that to him.

Re: RIP Max Maven
Never met him, but his labyrinthine knowledge and historical depth will not be replaced. What a loss.

Re: Guy Hollingworth - The Expert At The Card Table
I just subscribed. The Hollingworth episode is stated to be “temporarily unavailable.”

Not sure if anyone in this forum listens to the Dan Cummins “Timesuck” podcast. But I submitted this overall subject as a suggestion for one of his involved expeditions. He put it up for a vote in the forum. It’d be interesting to hear it aired in such a way.

Re: ERDNASE
Martin Gardner apparently thought so, too, and explored the possibility that Twain might have helped edit or ghost the book for Milton Franklin Andrews, since both were residents of Hartford, Connecticut and billiard players. This thread should just be made into a book by itself. That’s cool, Richa...

Re: Alaskan Poker by Ricky Jay
Why go fourth rate to honor secondary sources? The Hofzinser routines are around. The power of doubt? Because I happen to have a scripted place in my act where I acknowledge the book's value to magicians and card-cheaters alike, and perform the routine as "the author may have envisioned it per...

Thanks.

One thing I can say:
The unrushed way he did the top change is a lesson in and of itself.
Beyond that, it's cool to see someone simply making a cool moment for someone else.
