Book excerpt: "One of a select band of the world's greatest professional cheats, Richard Marcus, toured the gambling cultures of Las Vegas, London and Monte Carlo, winning huge sums of money from casinos by elaborate sleight of hand tricks. He and his gang were great tacticians, backing up their moves with psychological set-ups to convince pit bosses that they were watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky, while in fact their casinos were being robbed blind." "Richard Marcus tells his tale of a lifetime spent cheating casinos. This insider story of how one very smart man and his small band were able to beat some of the biggest casinos, opens a window on to a hidden world of intriguing personalities, tense situations and very close shaves. What becomes clear is that the root of their success is not mere technical wizardry, but being cool under pressure."--BOOK JACKET.
