The "sleeve clip card cheater" is pretty interesting! Anybody who used a mechanical device to cheat was taking an extraordinary extra level of risk!

Good luck to all,

Just saw one of those sleeve devices on pawn stars the other day, they identified it as a device to hold sleeve cuffs in place back when people just wore a cuff under their jacket sleeves. The guy also thought it was a card cheating device as well. They looked up the patent number to verify its real use.
