Anybody have any stories on Harry Anderson(the old night court judge). Ive heard he was a good player but even better at proposition bets. A long time ago I heard a story about him in a bowling alley tossing cards down the lane and knocking the headpin over, there has to be more out there somewhere. Thank you all
 
Harry was a pretty decent street magician in his own right.
Somewhere I read where he could also hold his own on a table too.
 
The head pin story was actually attributed famed prop bet and poker player "Milk" he would bet people that he could stand at the foul line and take a deck of 52 cards and knock over a bowling head pin by tossing them down the lane one at a time. I personally seen him win over 20k at the wsop with this in either the late 80s or early 90s. The way he did it was skip the card down the lane wedging them under the head pin when he had enough cards wedged under the pin it tipped over. when I seen him do it he did it and only had 4 cards left when he won. He was a protege of Ti Thompson and was very talented at many things heard he died about 10 years ago in his 70s

Nothing to do with Harry Anderson, but it reminded me of this story from Smorgass Bored.
