Sal Piacente, renowned cheating expert and casino consultant, recently joined WIRED to tackle some of the internet’s most pressing questions about cheating in casinos. From whether slot machines can really be hacked, to why card counting is frowned upon (but not technically illegal), Sal dives deep into the hidden world of casino deception. He also sheds light on how to spot loaded dice, what it’s like working in casino security, and just how realistic those Hollywood-style heists really are.

This week, we’re throwing the spotlight on one of magic’s brightest legends—literally! Marvyn Roy, also known as Mr. Electric, was not only a class act but also a true innovator. Long before today’s tech was commonplace, he was lighting up stages with an electrifying routine that felt like it came from the future.

His act remains timeless and serves as a powerful reminder of a performer who truly helped shape the art. Marvyn Roy belongs on magic’s Mt. Rushmore—and we're proud to honor his legacy.

David Blaine (Do Not Attempt, Buried Alive, Above the Below) extends his visit to the Armchair Expert by performing magic tricks live in-studio. David dazzles Dax & Monica with impressive card illusions, sleight of hand, and genuine Hogwarts wizardry.

NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON’T – in theaters November 14, 2025. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, with Rosamund Pike, and Morgan Freeman.

This week, we're throwing it back to 1995 with a nod to one of magic’s most unforgettable TV specials—Rudy Coby: The Coolest Magician on Earth. With Rudy celebrating his birthday this week, we couldn’t think of a better time to spotlight one of our favorite creative minds in magic. Dive into the nostalgia and relive a moment that helped shape modern magic as we know it!
