Rackets Are My Racket
By Audley Walsh
Available once again is Audley Walsh's hard to find gambling exposé, which also includes a number of the author's card effects that make a perfect ending to the lecture.
Contains the "meat" of his now-famous lecture, including a brief biography; how he developed and organized the lecture; gives an excellent summary on the origin and history of playing cards; plus six excellent, illustrated card effects and sleights to present:
The Mystic 32 Card Trick
Any Name Called For
Rubber-Fingered Charlie
Use My Deck!
Blackjack Peek
Three Card Monte with Paper Clip
The Magnetic Cards
Plus, only in this revised and enlarged edition, included are two bonus chapters on visual aids to use in your gambling (or any) lecture, and "The Gambler's Bookshelf" -- a suggested listing of 18 books and manuscripts on gambling scams and cons to help inform your lecture and the inevitable question-and-answer session afterwards.
Present this informative lecture anywhere adults gather: civic groups, keynote speeches, corporate shows, men's lodges, public libraries, magic conventions, "brown bag" lunches ... the list is practically endless.
Walsh presented this lecture before scores of audiences, including magicians, civic groups, police and sheriff departments ... and even the FBI.
A must-have for collectors of rigged gambling equipment and ephemera, magicians, historians and law enforcement professionals.
"Good reading. A lot of excellent material and good effects."
(Alvin Richard Plough in
The Linking Ring)
