BIOGRAPHY
(from Wikipedia):
John Scarne
(March 4, 1903 – July 7, 1985) was an American
magician
and author who was particularly adept at
playing card
manipulation. He became known as an expert on cards and other games, and authored a number of popular books on cards,
gambling
, and related topics.
He was born
Orlando Carmelo Scarnecchia
in
Steubenville, Ohio
in the United States of America, and at some point
anglicized
his name to
John Scarne
. He grew up in the
New Jersey
communities of
Fairview
and
Guttenberg
. When he left school after the eighth grade, he learned from a local
card sharp
how to perform such
swindles
as
The Three Card Monte
, and how to cheat in
gambling
card games
by manipulating the cards. Scarne began practicing
sleight of hand
with the goal of becoming a card sharp, but his
Roman Catholic
mother dissuaded her son from gambling in general, and cheating others in particular. She persuaded him to practice magic instead. One of Scarne's influences was Nate Leipzig. Of Leipzig, Scarne said, "Whatever I can do, is because Nate Leipzig showed me how to do it." Scarne soon extended his skill at handling cards to learning—and devising—
magical effects with cards
. He spent a few months learning about crooked gambling devices (including
marked cards
and
loaded dice
) at a nearby novelty store. Thanks to his endless practice, Scarne began making money as a magician.
Gradually, Scarne became an expert at not only
magical effects
, but games of all kinds as well. Articles were written about him in various magazines, and he was hired as a consultant or adviser by various companies, as well as by the US Army, which sent him to bases around the world in order to educate soldiers about the dangers of card and dice cheats. He wrote fifteen books and co-wrote a few more for a total of twenty-eight books on games, such as
Scarne on Dice
,
Scarne's Guide to Modern Poker
and
Scarne's New Complete Guide to Gambling
. He also wrote two autobiographies:
The Amazing World of John Scarne: A Personal History
(1956), and
The Odds Against Me
(1966). He served as a
technical advisor
in the 1973 motion picture,
The Sting
, and doubled for actor
Paul Newman
's hands during scenes that involved
card manipulations
and deck switching.
Scarne was often proclaimed by experts, magicians and editors of the time as the greatest card manipulator of all time. But he was happiest when inventing (and marketing, through his company John Scarne Games, Inc.) new games, which he did quite a bit. And he was especially proud of one called
Teeko
, which he invented in 1945 (version withdrawn), re-invented in 1952 and modified in the 1960s. He was so proud of the game that he named his son
John Teeko Scarne
. Teeko quickly spread around the world. Even Orson Welles was reported to have been playing Teeko. But he never made a profit on the game mainly due to water damage in the warehouse which eliminated the entire stock in one day. Today Teeko is virtually unknown.
Scarne's most famous card trick was appropriately titled "Scarne's Aces". The trick involved taking a spectator's shuffled deck of cards, performing a series of riffle shuffles himself and then cutting to all four aces. Another one of Scarne's most notable card effects was the triple coincidence, in which a spectator and a magician each pick three different playing cards out of two regular decks of opposite colors and it is shown that all of the selections match. Scarne also created a quadruple coincidence, wherein a spectator selects a card and four impossible predictions of their card are made.
Scarne also attempted to discredit
Edward O. Thorp
's blackjack
card counting
system. In his 1966 autobiography
The Odds Against Me
, he claimed to analyze Thorp's system and concluded that the whole system was loaded with mathematical errors and it was pure fiction dreamed by Thorp. Scarne also went on to attempt to discredit Wilson's famous blackjack point count system. Scarne offered a challenge to blackjack card counters, but Scarne and the prospective participants were never able to agree upon the terms for the challenge.
In
The Odds Against Me
, Scarne described his own technique for counting down up to four-deck blackjack with the rules generally used in Las Vegas in 1947: Scarne made use of his stacks of chips as a device to help track the contents of the undealt cards. A more complete description of his technique is present in his later book,
Scarne's Guide to Casino Gambling
, where he also described preventative measures taken by casinos to combat card counting.
Scarne married Steffi Storm
(née Norma Kearney)
in 1955 (and they had John Teeko
the same year). Scarne died on July 7, 1985 at 82, while living in North Bergen, New Jersey.

Haremos todo lo posible por resolver su problema y ganar su satisfacción. Algunas medalla o moneda quizá sea enviada en cápsula de acrílico como cortesía nuestra. Debido a que usted pagó por la medalla o moneda, y no por la cápsula, nosotros no somos responsables de reemplazar cápsulas recibidas rotas. Debido a que las medallas vienen con alguna que otra imperfección de fábrica, es normal que una medalla contenga algún rayacito o cantacito mínimo de lo cual no somos responsables. Las antiguedades que vendemos tienen imperfecciones por vejez, uso y desgaste, que pudieran no reflejarse en las fotos. Por eso sólo reemplazaremos o devolveremos dinero en caso de mercancía recibida gravemente dañada. Clientes que abusen con reclamaciones exageradas e infundadas serán bloqueados en el futuro.

We’ll do everything we can to help you and get your 5 stars. Some medals or coins may be shipped inside plastic capsules as a courtesy of ours. Because you paid for a medal or coin, and not for an acrylic capsule, we are not to be held responsible over capsules received cracked or broken. Medals received from the factory will feature minor scratches or nicks over which we shouldn't be held responsible. Likewise, vintage items we sell may feature imperfections due to age, tear, and wear, which may not reflect on the photos. Due to this, we will only replace or provide refund on items received greatly damaged. Clients maliciously seeking to take advantage of the system by placing bogus or exaggerated claims will be blocked from making future business with us.
