Steve Forte

For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, go check out Steve Forte’s new book, “Gambling Sleight of Hand”. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most comprehensively considered volumes on card handling ever written. His Gambling Protection Series was foundational and I think this will end up right next to it. Magicians talk a lot about learning from card cheats and people like that, but Steve Forte is one of the few to have actually done that work, and man does it show.

In related news, we at Four Suits have a special poker-oriented project in the works, so anyone interested in that sort of thing should keep an eye out. (I don’t want to be negative, but the prospects look good, if you know what I mean…)
