I hope “The Amazing Monty!” is an escape artist, as well.

As long as he’s losing, I don’t think they care.

First rule of poker – Don’t play poker with people who do card tricks. Second rule of poker – don’t show others your card tricks.

Looks like Vinnie & Tony have all the chips.

He’d better quit messing around and deal. Those two don’t look like happy campers, even though they have all the chips.

The floor boss is coming this way! Cash out!

Memories of the night I got trapped by a blizzard in a small town and spent half the night with a nice bunch of people who bought drinks and taught me how to play poker. Luckily we were only playing for pennies as I lost almost 200 of them.

Not a good idea to demonstrate your great slight of hand abilities while playing cards. Especially around these two.

Watch him make the pot disappear.

As long as there’s nothing up his sleeve.

Reminds me of the funny W. C. Fields “Five Aces” scene:

To show how much they love your act, they’re going to give you a special gift; cement overshoes and a scenic trip to the dockyard.

Now and then Jimmy boy come up with a real good toon, today is one!

Rocco! Squash dat guy in da cape!

Sure, boss. You want I should leave him alive?
