Obscura Society NY Presents: The Art of Cheating
Sleight of hand, card counting schemes, feats of memory, mathematics and dexterity. Cheating has a long and storied history of great innovation created by brilliant minds with flexible morals. This is the night you learn the art of cheating.
Internationally renowned sleight of hand artist and casino consultant Sal “The Hitman” Piacente joins the New York Obscura Society in our very own Chinatown gambling den for an open bar of Rat Pack-inspired classic cocktails, a live band ready to take down the house and a motley cast of shady characters. With an assortment of brilliant conmen, sleight of hand experts, and practitioners of the dark mathematical arts on hand, prepare for an evening of fast hands and faster minds ready and willing to show you the tricks of the trade. Come and play on our tables, where for one night only, cheating is encouraged.
Learn sleight of hand moves and the basic mathematics of cheating before gambling against fellow guests and a crew of mathemagicians for Atlas Obscura pride and prizes! The best players and best cheaters will win the night.
