If you are looking for a very good start to learning the three card monte, this is a good place to
begin. Sal teaches this in detail and at the end, you know exactly how to play (and win!) the game.
However, if you already know the basic mechanics of the game and want to know MORE about
it, you would be better suited towards Daryl's guide to the 3 card monte (also available here at
penguin).
Overall, good place to start but ONLY if you are JUST starting.
