Trick Question from Erdnase...

Okay so I asked Darwin if he considered this fair Erdnase trivia and he said it's too much of a trick question. But I'd be impressed if anyone can answer it so I'll post it anyway.

Where does Erdnase mistakenly mention altering clothing?

It's inbetween pages 20-40 in Dover edition.

50-70 in most other editions.

I'll give a new hint everyday until someone gets it in the comments.

Tribute to Erdnase

Every year or two I make a new 'tribute to Erdnase' video just to keep a log of my improvement. It's taken me a few weeks, but I've finally finished the latest video.

Can you cheat at Poker?

Laymen have very little interest in actual gambling technique. When someone asks to see some "cheating moves" they want to be entertained. They want something with a beginning, a middle, and an end. You can start showing your chops by doing some false deals, mucks, and stacking- but the end result will be maybe a smile and a nod. This is not a good reaction especially if you want to sell DVDs. There needs to be structure to your demo's, and sometimes a kicker ending.

On the other hand...

There are a few people you run into that actually know what they're talking about and really want to see some of the work. I was called out miserably once by performing Harry Loraynes Poker Deal for a real hustler.

The bottom line is that you need to know your audience, start off with something small and go off their reaction.

P.S. I'm not talking about paid gigs, those are easy to plan out. I'm talking about those impulsive moments where you are on the spot suddenly without any time to prepare.
