Steve Forte – Special Reports (ALL 11 Video+4 PDF)

To celebrate the new year, this is truly a special report that looks at my early inspirations, mentors, and the people who inspire me today.  The report culminates with nine cardmen showcasing their special talents by sharing their thinking, moves, variants, and magic.  Video contributions are from Bill Malone (pull-out w/ cascade), Rod the Hop (original pull-out), Jack Carpenter (fan strip shuffle), Sal Piacente (total recall scanning, aka ‘TRS’), David Malek (riffle stacking), Noel S. (N-transfer), Jack Tighe (pop-up second), FF (greek deal), and Miguel Webb (one-handed cooler).

I came upon a casino game-protection document from the Keller library that was put together for new floor supervisors and pit bosses.  It instructs bosses about the many scams, warning signs, and suspicious behavior to watch for.  I added lengthy annotations to each section to give the document some scope.  At first, I doubted the interest in such a document but reviewers responded favorably, so it is included as a Special Report.
