"a standard plug"

curious to know why this has been put on a magicians website though, apart from the connection with cards. are magicians known for being gamblers? you wouldn't think we'd have big problems with it though would you!?

As TM is a Magic Discussion Forum, I have no idea why this was posted here - we don't have any real interest in Gambling as such. The only gambling we encounter is when the whole thing is rigged in favour of the performer for entertainment purposes only!

We'll leave the post visible for a while just in case it's of interest to anyone but if anyone has concerns in this direction then in the first instance, you might prefer to check out Gamblers Anonymous - the website gives UK contact details and is http://www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk/

it's only other people that have a problem with my gambling!
probably because i know I'm always going to win at 3 card monte

i never use magic to cheat anyone out of money though, but you can easily get someone to buy you a drink or 2
