    The greatest thing about magic for me is knowing how it's done but being unable to spot it. It's a testament to untold hours of practice and innumerable failures before perfection happened.

    2:37 The crazy thing about the Phil Ivey scandal was that he effectively told the casinos beforehand in his "what I want as a VIP" documents that he was gonna edge-sort, and exactly how he was gonna do it (asking for specific brand of deck, asking for a specific type of dealer, asking the dealer to flip the cards around at the table). And the casino just went along with it because he was gonna gamble tons of money and they were dumb and greedy (and VIPs ask for weird stuff all the time).

    • @Chiberia
      @Chiberia 19 днів тому +1

      except he didn't - the reason he lost his court cases was because he explicitly said it was for "luck" and "superstition" when the casinos asked "why?" That moved it to fraud.

    • @michaelsparks1571
      @michaelsparks1571 18 днів тому +1

      ​@@Chiberia The casinos still had the option on review to say "sorry, but we can't make that accommodation because it could potentially compromise game integrity", but they didn't.
      Ivey 100% cheated, not arguing that, just saying that the casinos basically LET him cheat (because they expected to still make millions of dollars off his visit).

    • @shelbyherring92
      @shelbyherring92 9 днів тому

      ​@@michaelsparks1571 Yeah, not to mention... The casino would have known about the defect beforehand. I mean, come on, these are billion dollar businesses that are up to date on every form of trickery and gadgetry designed to rip them off. The fact it didn't raise even the slightest suspicion to the heads of the casino in and of itself is more suspicious.
