The Count's Inquisition of Shuffling and Dealing
by kevsashark » Aug 8th, '07, 17:02
Has anyone ever purchased any of the 3 CD-ROMs entitled "The Count's Inquisition of Shuffling and Dealing"? Apparently, it's a CD-ROM booklet that teaches multiple shuffles, deals, cuts, etc. for gambling cheating effects/routines.
I was wondering if someone could or would write a review of it. I did a forum search and couldn't find a topic on this. If there is one, I apologize and would appreciate a link to it.
Is it a worth while purchase? Are the pictures alongside the written descriptions adequate?

Well, while I was surfing the net, I came across a couple of reviews for this that I am pasting below, in case anyone else is interested in knowing what other magicians think about this product. If you disagree with these reviews, please post on that as well. FYI, these reviews can be found here: http://www.magic.org/store/product_info ... ts_id=4984. After reading these reviews, I've moved these books from Maybes to "Must bes"

All three discs are really packed with information, TONS of magic, but I read through it quickly. For the first time ever, I actually understood what the author was talking about when describing this type of card work. Thanks for putting in the extra time and effort!!!

Many books are written on the subject of false shuffling & dealing, but neither one of them comes close to this one. Reading this book feels like a magical journey. You will be amazed by the information the Count is sharing with you in his book, told in a classic style that gives you the idea that "Erdnase" is still among us. The "Expert at the Card Table" is considered as "the bible" on how to cheat at cards. This will always be so, but since the release of "Inquisition of Shuffling & Dealing", "the bible" has an expansion. If you consider yourself a serious performer, a beginner, or if you just want to read more about the subject I can highly recommend this book to you. Mastering these wonderful sleights will not be easy, but you will get detailed explanation on how to. The Count pays attention on every little thing you need to know. How to deal that particular card from the bottom is not explained in just a few sentences but in pages, with colour pictures for extra clarification. Every good thing has it's price, but when you see how many there is in this book, you will gladly pay three times the price listed here. The countless hours that it took the author to write this book must have been a sacrifice. This can only be done if there is true dedication to the art of mastering the impossible. Feel free to enter the fascinating world of the Count and let him be your teacher and your friend.
