In 2013 he recounted a story of being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-2331653\/Derren-Brown-banned-escorted-casino-attempting-play-Blackjack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">banned from a Birmingham casino<\/a> when he attempted to play a few hands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blackjack\/\">blackjack<\/a>. He took his rejection well though, saying: &#8216;Over the years I\u2019ve has been banned from playing at most of the UK\u2019s casinos, so I wasn\u2019t unduly surprised.&#8217; Perhaps the fact that one of his TV specials was entitled &#8216;How to Take Down a Casino&#8217; was a red flag for some pit bosses.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Street magician Dynamo is also purportedly a persona non gratis on the casino floor; as a young teen he would be tasked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/dynamo-used-talents-council-estate-18745725\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shuffle cards so that members of the local gangs would be guaranteed to win high-stake card games.<\/a> Magician David Blaine is another who claims to have been banned from casinos across the globe.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:embed {\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNzvpFcJXU4\",\"type\":\"rich\",\"providerNameSlug\":\"embed-handler\",\"responsive\":true,\"className\":\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNzvpFcJXU4<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:embed --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Let&#8217;s now take a look at some magicians who may be less familiar, but who used their skills to get an advantage on the casino gaming tables:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>John Scarne (1903-1985):<\/strong> this is where it all started, baby! Although he was never a gambler, this guy dedicated his life to studying cheating methods and techniques across dice and card games including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/guides\/blackjack\/blackjack-faq\/\">Blackjack<\/a>, and helping to prevent them on the casino floor. A leader ahead of his time, he was the first person that wasn\u2019t a casino owner to really give a bother about the effects of cheating on Regular Joes like you and me. His books \u2013 which are still considered not only relevant, but some of the best \u2013 include Scarne on Cards (1949) and Scarne on Dice (1956). And if that isn\u2019t impressive enough, he doubled for Paul Newman\u2019s hands in the film The Sting!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:html -->\n<figure><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:html --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Franck Garcia (1927-1993): <\/strong>seen as a scam specialist, Garcia provided lectures for law enforcement agencies and made television appearances to show his skill and convey his message that gambling could be laden with problems. His three-shell trick was particularly famous, and his charismatic personality meant he always left his watchers spellbound \u2013 and wanting more. His books include Marked Cards and Loaded Dice (1962), In a Nutshell (1974) and Don\u2019t Bet On It (1978).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Richard Turner:<\/strong> known as being particularly impressive because of his almost non-existent eyesight, Turner is a specialist in a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/guides\/baccarat\/baccarat-tips\/\">gambling techniques<\/a>, and makes his money with regular live performances that demonstrate his mastery of card tricks and knowledge. There\u2019s no need to even try and cheat the casino when you have this guy\u2019s skill!
