I'm also working on a one handed shuffle, antonio esfandiari style. Just to let everyone know that i'm the man :P

No disrespect intended towards you here, but...
Everytime I sit at a table and see a guy doing chip tricks I target him as easy money. Here's why. Most players that spend their time doing tricks are very hyper agressive. They just can't sit still and need action. I wait till I know I have them beat and I pounce on them.
Speaking of Antonio, some friends of mine from Great Lakes Poker and Gaming Magazine had him at their booth in Las Vegas for the WSOP*. He drew a nice crowd so I walked over to the inside of the booth to watch his card tricks and was just in awe and this guys magic. Not to mention that he was as friendly as can be.
Here's a picture I snapped of him signing the felt prior to the Ante Up For Africa Charity Tournament.
