No citation, and googling the details yields no corroborating source. I think this guy is cheating at more than poker.

Besides, the scam he describes is a variation of a well-known trick, e.g. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4555

I remember reading about the same trick in some Sidney Sheldon novel too. Its an old idea used by many a story tellers.
