Old School Blackjack Cheating

Whether this site condones or disapproves of
the following methods is a moot point, they
are largely historical references now. It is
practically impossible to find any casino
game where the following methods are
possible. Never-the-less, you might find it
interesting.
HANDMUCKING
Handmucking involved switching the players face down card with cards stolen earlier from
the dealer’s deck. So for example, if you had stolen ten card and you were dealt a hard 14
with the 4 face down, then you would switch the 4 for your stolen ten and you would then be
able to show a hard 20. Now with your stolen 4, you would wait for a 6 or a 7 showing before
switching again.

The safest way to pull this trick off would be to have at least 1 other partner with you on the
table. The pit will be watching the player who makes the big wins. So, there should be a
second person who actually holds the steals the dealer’s card and holds the stolen cards,
passing the card to the other player when needed. If the place gets hot then the second
silent partner quickly slips the stolen card back into the dealer’s deck to make sure the deck
still has the right number of cards. This way the big winner can concentrate on playing
innocent.
Switching in a Cooler
Switching in a cooler is just a much more ambitious version of handmucking. Instead of just
switching one card at a time, you switch the entire deck. The new deck – the ‘cooler’ – is
fixed so that your team comes out “lucky”.
This trick requires a team. You need a “mechanic” to switch the deck, “first base” in the far
left hand seat to distract the pit, “third base” who sat in the far right to distract the dealer and
the “take-off man” who is the big winner.
It is important to make sure that the take-off man is completely clean and it is always best to
have the dealer in on the game.
