    Bettie: Gambling seminar taught by The Amazing Kreskin

    The Amazing Kreskin has been booked by the Sahara to its Casbar Lounge to perform his mentalism act five nights a week (Wed through Fri at 5pm, Sat and Sun at 3pm and 5pm), plus teach a weekly gambling seminar on how to increase your edge in the casino games at 3:30 pm Thursdays. Obviously, the casino isn't too worried about losing big bucks from what this guys has to say; it'd be interesting to see, at any rate!

    I dealt single deck blackjack to Kreskin in 1979 on the graveyard shift at Harolds Club in Reno. He was doing a show at Harrah's and decided to play blackjack afterwards. The table was empty and he came up to my table and bought in with a $100 bill. Kreskin hardly said a word and spread $5-$20 and won a couple of hundred dollars.

    From seeing his shows, I was wondering if Kreskin could read my mind while peeking under a ten card or ace, looking for the dreaded blackjack. Kreskin said he does not read minds and plays blackjack to unwind after a show. He also said that Harrah's barred him from playing blackjack and was welcome at Harolds Club playing this small amount.

    The Amazing Kreskin is a true blackjack aficionado and from my own empirical analysis, one of the best 21 players in the world. He uses playing cards for a living as a mentalist and probably is as close to Ray from the movie "Rainman" in his ability to remember cards as anyone in the world.

    I saw Kreskin playing BJ in an AC casino a few years ago. The dealer commented that he counts, but they let him play anyway. He looked ancient.
