Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
Author and gambling expert Andrew Wimhurst performs card cheating demonstrations at the inaugural Sydney Festival of Magic and Illusion.
Andrew will expose the REAL secret methods of casino cheats and poker thieves. Based on his true crime book, "Thieving Bastards: True Confessions of the World's Greatest Cheats", which features interviews with professional cheats—from “casino crossroaders” to “holdout artists”, “slot thieves” and “bust-out mechanics”.
These crooks brought Andrew into their inner circle and taught him the dark arts of their trade.
