To All Readers of "Gambling Sleight of Hand - Forte Years of Research"

If there is one undeniable truth about books on sleight of hand, it's difficult to translate words into actions and this is especially true in respect to speed, pace, and continuity. In many instances, after receiving questions/comments from multiple readers about the same move or concept, it was clear to me that they all had different interpretations. So, the sole purpose of this subdomain is to offer video guidelines in response to your questions and requests. Instead of making the videos available to everyone on the internet, the following subdomain was developed to make it (a) easier for readers to reference the clips in GSOH according to chapters and page numbers, and (b) make it easier for me to upload future videos.

I remain firmly committed to help every reader of GSOH grasp its core research. I respond to all emails and videos sent to me on info@gamblingsleightofhand, and this subdomain will help me achieve these goals. Incidentally, the most common request is simply, "I sure would like to see what that move looks like."

Remember, there's no right way or wrong way to do most moves. What I'm offering is only one handling of a particular move, concept, or stunt, which is just the beginning. Do not hesitate to explore other variations. Strive for perfection!

With these clips, however, there are a few caveats. It has been a very long time since I have practiced seriously, so don't expect the moves to be executed perfectly. If you spot an imperfection, ignore it and focus on the big picture using the video to grasp the essence of the move. Also, some clips have been culled from my personal database, which is used for preserving my memory of moves and concepts and was never intended to be used publicly. So the clips are short, low-production videos with no audio (unless the move is part of a "lesson" with an explanation). I have also culled a few clips from the '52' segment of the Gambling Protection DVDs . . . I make no presumption that all readers of GSOH have these DVDs; besides, these clips were presented without names or explanations.

Perhaps a reshoot of the clips in high-definition video with voice over is somewhere down the road.

To support the research, I promised 100 video clips. I have divided these requests into four groups of 25 clips. I hope to complete this task and upload the final group in January 2024!

I hope you find the clips helpful.

Happy New Year!
