How They Cheat You at Cards, or Mr. Rakeoff in the Provinces contains entertaining stories translated to English by Russell T. Barnhart from the original French descriptions of cheating techniques written by Eugene Villiod, who also wrote the highly popular Stealing Machine around the turn of the 20th century. This book includes descriptions and illustrations of how cards are marked, cheater’s shuffles, how hustlers set up their victims, and more. A wonderful book for those interested in the history of gambling, as well as those interested in magic and sleight-of-hand techniques.
