  • A card sharp (also card shark; informally cardsharp or cardshark) is a person who uses skill and deception to win at poker or other card games. Such a person is also known in card gaming jargon as a "mechanic". The label is not always intended as pejorative, and is sometimes used to refer to practitioners of card tricks for entertainment purposes. In general usage, principally in American English and more commonly with the "shark" spelling, the term has also taken on the meaning of "expert card gambler who takes advantage of less-skilled players", without implication of actual cheating at cards (in much the same way that "pool shark" or "pool hustler" can be intended to mean "skilled player" rather than "swindler"). A card sharp (by either of the gambling-related definitions) may be a "rounder" who travels, seeking out high-stakes games in which to gamble. The 1998 film Rounders dramatically illustrates this lifestyle. The most common trick of a card sharp is called springing which is simply transferring a deck of cards from one hand to the other. You "spring" one card at a time but in a fast motion.
  • Das Falschspiel ist eine Sonderform des Betrugs. Falschspiel ist vermutlich so alt wie das Glücksspiel um Geld. Bereits in altägyptischen Gräbern von 3500 v. Chr. wurden manipulierte Würfel gefunden. Es ist kein Glücksspiel bekannt, bei dem nicht Manipulation praktiziert oder wenigstens versucht wurde. Die Methoden sind ausgesprochen vielfältig, raffiniert und mechanisch bisweilen sehr aufwendig.
