Book excerpt: Excerpt from Card-Sharpers: Their Tricks Exposed On many occasions when I have been honoured by the Bench by being consulted as an expert in trials for cheating, I have been frequently impressed by the fact that the want of knowledge of the subject has been an impediment in the path of the judge. How, indeed, could he be expected to understand the subtle schemes of the professional sharper? How put his finger on the point in question, when he knows nothing of the rascal's cunning manœuvres? By a singular contradiction to the ordinary course of justice, while the offender, armed with tricks and audacity, is strong, the judge is practically without defence and helplessly weak. Devoted for a part of my life to the study of conjuring, and having given my time to the amusement of the public, I am of opinion that the time has arrived to return to my supporters, who have honoured me with their applause, a not equivocal mark of my gratitude in devoting my leisure to their service. I have therefore written this work, the object of which may be summed up in this self-evident truth: "Enlighten the dupes and there will be no more cheats." But is it sufficient that a truth be uncontestable for it to be uncontested? I do not believe it; and, to prove it, I myself advance to meet a probable objection.

Download or read book Blacklegs, Card Sharps, and Confidence Men written by Thomas Ruys Smith and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Blacklegs, Card Sharps, and Confidence Men, Thomas Ruys Smith collects nineteenth-century stories, sketches, and book excerpts by a gallery of authors to create a comprehensive collection of writings about the riverboat gambler. The voices of canonized writers such as William Dean Howells, Herman Melville, and, inevitably, Mark Twain hold prominent positions. But they mingle seamlessly with lesser-known pieces such as an excerpt from Edward Willett's sensationalistic dime novel Flush Fred's Full Hand, raucous sketches by anonymous Old Southwestern humorists from The Spirit of the Times, and colorful accounts by now nearly forgotten authors like Daniel R. Hundley and George W. Featherstonhaugh. Smith puts the twenty-eight selections in perspective with an Introduction that for the first time thoroughly explores the history and myth surrounding this endlessly fascinating American cultural icon.
