Who is he?

As one of the last traditional dice and card mechanics, Fast Jack shares his vivid tales from the underworld of crooked games across the globe. Imagine a blend of Goodfellas and The Sting. “By casually brushing off some lint from my shoulder, I signaled to my partners that it was time to leave.” Full-time hustlers had their own secret signals and codes to communicate, even in the presence of unsuspecting players.

From coast to coast, this coded language was essential for true hustlers. Known as the ‘office’, it was exclusive to those deeply entrenched in the game. Fast Jack earned his nickname for a reason; he was the leading dice mechanic of his time, adept at setting up marks and transforming casino nights and social events into profitable ventures. He thrived in an era before mega-casinos, where cash ruled and gambling took place in basements and kitchens. Starting at just twenty-two, Fast Jack became a household name, rewriting the rules of the game.

His life story intertwines with the mob’s final days, navigating the thin line between risk and reward as federal crackdowns increased. From rigging dice to magnetized Craps tables, and orchestrating foolproof betting schemes, Fast Jack left a mark from the Super Bowl to the Kentucky Derby, and across continents. A master hustler, he knew how to shift the odds in his favor while always living to gamble another day.

Throughout his journey, he mingled with legends like John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Joe Louis, and Jake LaMotta, and interacted with notorious crime families. The Mechanic offers a rare glimpse into the life of a professional hustler—a tale of greed, compassion, vengeance, and redemption. In Fast Jack Farrell’s world, your worth is determined by your last roll of the dice, and he was unparalleled.

It’s uncommon for a mechanic to reveal his techniques, and even more so to do it publicly. Prepare for an extraordinary experience… Don’t miss out!
