    Good link. There is also another video after that one showing false shuffles and dealing seconds. Those moves are tough to spot.

    Saw that video too. The tell for me was the moment he put on the mechanic's grip with his right hand.

    Yes, that is the only way I can spot it, too. The so-called "whisper" difference between legitimate deals and second deals is virtually impossible to detect in some very good seconds dealers. This particular dealer mechanic has a very relaxed mechanic's grip making even that hard to detect. So many dealers have the very same grip. For bottoms dealers, it is a much more apparent grip. One thing I do when faced with a mechanics grip (besides run the other way... ) is to stare intently at the dealer's hands. I can't "see" the seconds deal, but I can make the dealer very uncomfortable, him wondering whether or not I am detecting something, a dealer "tell" he was not aware of. I wouldn't count on it, but this might dissuade him from his purpose to cheat you. Nothing would be more catastrophic for the house and the dealer than to be caught cheating.
