I use another method

Holecarding is illegal. You cant reach across the table, lift the hole card up so you can see it. That's cheating!
I have a midget on payroll and he goes under the table and drills a series of little holes in the area where the dealer peeks. Then with the use of a high tech lighted magnifer he reads the card and gives me signals by how many times I am kicked in the shins.:grin:
Also the use of X-Ray vision glasses work for certain types of cards.
By far though, my most effective method of playing blackjack was developed by the inventor of Mindplay after he was fired because his device did not catch on in Vegas. Angry at Alliance/Bally gaming and the casinos, he developed the Mindplay Casino Devistation Device, which requires you to be the one who cuts the shoe. Your body is implanted with a card reader in the finger tip of your second finger on your left hand and a decoder is implanted in your brain. Before cutting you rub that finger across the card for so called "luck" and then twice in the place where you place the cut card. Your brain then is given the exact position of every single card in the shoe. You not only know the dealers hole card in advance, you know exactly what you will get as a total every hand if you sit at first base. In this case, you have factual information to back you up if someone takes a dealer bust card!
So I know next hand I get a blackjack, I bet table max etc or I get 16 vs a dealer pat hand and I bet the minimum. Blackjack sure is an easy easy game.:laugh:
Of course these things may be also considered cheating but would be much easier to get away with than doing what you suggested.:laugh:
Extra effort for extra advantage.
