"Must reading for all card magicians" -Allan Ackerman, Professional Magician, Author of Las Vegas Kardma

A legendary blackjack cheater who was never caught divulges decades-old secrets used by casino “crossroaders” to beat the game. The book delves into the minds and methods of the cheater, providing explanations of the techniques, illustrated by entertaining real-life accounts of how it was done.

"Exceptional, Controversial, Highly Recommended." -Michael Dalton - Blackjack Review

It’s bold, it’s risky and, just like the magician’s arsenal of slick moves and misdirection, its secrets are known to only a few.  Unlike the parallel world of magic on the showroom stage, however, the sleight of hand techniques employed out on the casino floor, for cheating the house out of money, are completely illegal.

Cheating at Blackjack is the definitive resource on how professional con men, sleight-of-hand specialists, and sophisticated teams cheat at blackjack and other card games. This unique exposé provides a rare peek inside the clandestine world of casino cheating, where the stakes are high, in terms of money to be won and freedom to be lost.

With clear explanations and detailed illustrations, Dustin D. Marks, one of the world’s greatest casino cheats from both the player and dealer sides of the table, divulges an amazing array of specific moves, including switching cards in and out of play, stacking the deck, adding to the bet after seeing the cards, wearing disguises, and using computers — all to get the money.

About the Author:

DUSTIN MARKS is, without question, one the most successful blackjack cheaters in history. Possessing an uncanny ability to remain calm under pressure and the talent to perform undetectable sleight of hand, he was employed as a blackjack dealer by several well-known casinos in Las Vegas during the 1980s. While under the watchful eye of the ostensibly fool-proof surveillance systems, he painstakingly perfected his craft and WAS NEVER CAUGHT! The plying of his talents was not limited to Las Vegas, he also played in casinos throughout Nevada.
