In a book devoted to card table artiface, it should not be out of place to discuss "odds," and the odds of this book being created at all are astounding. In the entire history of gambling and entertaining with playing cards, one book stands high above all others. First published in 1902 by a shadowy figure writing under the name S.W. Erdnase, The Expert at the Card Table has become the absolute masterwork on the manipulation of playing cards.One man remembers when this book was first published and has spent eight decades studying its fine points. Dai Vernon, or the Professor as he is known to his thousands of friends and students around the world, is the one person who is most qualified to accurately annotate this classic textbook. And annotate it he did...nearly twenty-five years ago. What became of that treasured manuscript for those many years could well be the subject of another book. Suffice it to say, here it is in its entirety...REVELATIONS.
