Mickey MacDougall Card Manipulator



The internationally famous card detective who has exposed over 200 professional card and dice crooks, uncovered scores of gambling rackets and is employed and recognized by state and federal authorities as the only manipulator who out-manipulates the manipulators.




His hands are admitted to be the fastest in the world—he does no mechanical card tricks of the ordinary magician.  He takes your own cards—and demonstrates the crooked—second deals, bottom deals, fake riffles and shuffles.  He will deal any hand called for to any player in poker.  Deal himself a grand slam in bridge right in front of your eyes and then force his opponent to deal him 13 spades.  Pick out the Aces and Kings in any pack while blindfolded.




You poker and bridge players will be fascinated and astonished.  Don't miss him.




He will show you every crooked trick performed with dice, and how dice are loaded and substituted.  It's unbelievable.  Mickey MacDougall has been featured in national magazines and on radio programs.  There is only one man like him in the world.




READER'S DIGEST devoted an article to his famous exhibition before the Cavendish Club in New York, where with two experts as opponents, using the club's cards, shuffling and cutting he bid and made six no trumps.  There was no hoax, merely expert manipulation of the cards.






Racquet Clubbers who have seen MacDougall say —



THOMAS CROOKS




I'm telling you—he has something on me—that is, I mean he's got me beat.  Don't miss this performance—it's a knockout.




HARRY L. CURTIS




Speaking seriously for once in my life, I think MacDougall gives the greatest entertainment I ever saw.  You mustn't miss him.




WM. A. WIEDERSHEIM

I've seen MacDougall on two occasions.  He's a wonder, and I could watch him every night in the week.  See him.  You'll agree with me.




EDMUND H. ROGERS




When MacDougall took a new pack of my own cards, shuffled them thoroughly and then dealt himself four aces against my four kings—I just quit—he's uncanny.




BENJAMIN ESHLEMAN




His grand slam bridge stunt is the most marvelous exhibition of card manipulation that I have ever seen.  Just watch MacDougall at work.




EDWIN I. HYNEMAN




His dice stories and inside information on loaded dice tricks of the sharper are fascinating and thrilling.  You must see MacDougall for yourself—he's marvelous.




Don't miss this unusual evening of good fellowship, fun and entertainment Wednesday, February 18, 1942
