Eh.

Speedcards

And look to the method , how he pushes the cards !

On the frontside with his thumb and on the backside he takes the cards with 4 fingers.
That's new for me, I learned much from this video.
A good method to count through a deck of cards very fast too.

Eh.

Amazingly, most lay people think that one must be able to do this in order to count cards.

By the way, Elhombre - Kommen Sie eigentlich aus Deutschland?

Pelerus my friend, you come from a Russian satellite?, don't worry.

Yes, I come from sucking Germany, not so bad. We are all in the hands of
criminal bankers.

Pelerus, IMHO you and many others don't understand why I posted this link,
that's the key to be an AP and make much money in BJ.

the best Eh.

Nein, ich komme nicht aus einer Unionsrepublik der UdSSR. Ich komme aus den US. Im Bezug auf die Schreibtischtäter bin ich mit dir einverstanden. Ich liebe die deutsche Sprache und Kultur - aber ich lerne noch!

Certainly for advanced strategies, this kind of perfect recall would give one an advantage - and this is the "Advanced Strategies" sub-forum, after all. My point was only that the average casino patron assumes that normal card counting requires this level of memory, and that is why multiple decks increases the difficulty! This assumption is mistaken, of course, since for normal counting one only needs to keep a running total of card values, rather than memorizing every card and its exact location, as the gentleman in this video does.

Pelerus, Ben Pridmore remembers the cards in increments of two cards,
the same do I, when I am sequenzing. With the link I would show what's
possible for a human.
I won't tell more.
