Gazzo's recommended reading:
Please note: the following books are not about magic tricks,
they're books about advantage card play, i.e. how to cheat at cards. They
will all help you polish up your knowledge and your gaming demonstration
technique.
If you're a young, up-and-coming card mechanic, and want to learn the art of
dealing and all types of crooked gambling techniques, these are the books
that
Gazzo recommends--HIGHLY RECOMMENDS! We only have a few in stock, so get
them while they last.
"Some of the books are $ 3, some are $ 5, and some are $ 8, but value for money it'll
be the best under $ 10 you've ever spent. When I was 14 or 15 I did odd
jobs and saved up my pocket money to obtain these books. I stayed away from the
modern magic books at that time and went for these classics. Rarely talked
about and rarely seen, but trust me wannabe card men... THESE are the books that should be in
your library... that you should be reading now. No disrespect to other
authors or other titles, but in my opinion these are the books." -- Gazzo
Phantom of the Card
Table (the original manuscript) by Author Eddie
McGuire - This is the book that started it all.
Phantoms of the Card Table by David Britland and Gazzo (Coming Soon to
Penguin - More information than the original Phantom. Gazzo was the only student of
Walter Irving Scott (the Phantom), and you should read both books together.
Expert at the Card Table (Coming Soon to Penguin) - A must. If you had
to sacrifice all other books, this is the one to save. The book is over 100
years old, a lot of the material is dated, and a lot of the material is not.
But you need it just for the read. It's the most talked about book in the history of card artifice.
Lessons in
Dishonesty - This work came eight to ten years after the Phantom
and has one of the best descriptions of the bottom deal ever put in
print.
Spotlight on the Card
Sharp - Excellent. In my opinion THE BEST description
for the classic table hop. Clear-cut illustrations. Nice dice moves.
Master Key and Run-Up
Systems - If you're interested in marking and
disguising cards, this is a great little booklet. There's some stacking in
the back, also.
I intend to update this little library from time to time to try to steer you
in the right direction. So keep logging on to the Gazzo Store as it will be
updated with other classics if I can locate them.
Look guys, I'm not trying to sell a double bed to the Pope, I'm
just trying to lead you in the right direction.
So there you have it in a nutshell. I'm not gonna tell you how to spend
your money... it's no skin off me and I've still got somewhere to hide my chewing gum.
But if you do listen to me and purchase some of these books, you will not
regret it.
