Not a good subject for print July 22, 2008 J. Bush (Phoenix, AZ United States) Not to say you can't learn from this book but it's difficult to follow pictures of what is supposed to be done while trying to absorb the text. If you want to learn a couple of tricks it's worth it but if you're looking to learn some of the finer chip manipulations you may want to think twice. I gave it 3 stars because the book wasn't a significant investment and I did squeeze out some knowledge. Happy poker to all!
Nice For an Introduction May 12, 2007 Juan G. Cruz (McAllen, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is great. I couldn't do any of the tricks described before i got this book in my mail (except the "chatter stack" lol). Now, I'm a thumb flippin fool! Also, i almost have the butterfly down packed. Now it's time to start using the other hand. That's where the REAL challenge begins. The pictures are easy enough to follow and has great instructions. Overall, an excellent book for the beginners, not so much for those who already know most of the basics.
All in September 15, 2006 H. Spruance 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was shocked to see Aiken only give this book a 4 star review. Anyone who has tried to study up on chip tricks knows that this is the only one out there worth reading. Watson and Teti's instructions are genius. Their step by step instruction, coupled with the precise photography will have you doing the Butterfly in no time- regardless of your finger flexibility.
Shuffle up! August 8, 2006 HL Aiken (Philadelphia, PA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book for one reason--to learn how to shuffle chips and, I'm happy to report, I actually know how to do it now. Not perfectly, not every time (not yet at least), but I'm very happy with my progress. Now I'm trying to decide what other tricks to learn. There are so many. And, for a "how to" book, it's not a bad read either. Kind of funny.
