How To Play Blackjack: An Introduction To State-Of-The-Art Game Strategies Life Skills- Other,
Literature- Authors,
Other

Richard Harvey, bestselling author of Blackjack The Smart Way and Cutting Edge Blackjack, world renowned innovator of new blackjack strategies and expert player, teaches cutting edge concepts so all can understand what it takes to win at the game of 21 (aka blackjack). Called 'a blackjack wizard, a genius,' and 'a blackjack guru' by industry insiders, this university-trained math whiz and scientist has been praised for creating new methods (through 10 years of research involving card behavior studies, theoretical math models, shuffling studes and more) that far surpass the accuracy of the methods of the past. (Howard Schwartz of Las Vegas praised him for 'blazing new territory.') Interactive card demonstrations involve the audience in the process of learning. Harvey's done more than 200 professional seminars nationwide and is great at making everything easy to understand through copious amounts of instructive card examples and easy-to-understand PowerPoint slides. Harvey's recent library seminar West Hartford, CT, was fabulously successful (60+ attended). Harvey is proactive at getting publicity too. He obtained write-ups in the Hartford Courant, West Hartford Life and appeared on the Ray Dunaway show on WTIC-AM prior to the West Hartford library seminar. See www.blackjacktoday.com for more info.
