Here is a little about the game and its history. Mahjong, also spelled majiang, mah jongg, and numerous other variants, is a game that originated in China. It is commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in South Korea and Japan). The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout Eastern and South Eastern Asia and have a small following in Western countries. Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation and involves a degree of chance. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although some regional variations use a different number of tiles. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. In turn players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form four groups (melds) and a pair (head). There are fairly standard rules about how a piece is drawn, how a piece is stolen from another player and thus melded, the use of simples (numbered tiles) and honors (winds and dragons), the kinds of melds, and the order of dealing and play. However there are many regional variations in the rules; in addition, the scoring system and the minimum hand necessary to win varies significantly based on the local rules being used.

Mahjong or mah-jongg is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. It is commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in parts of China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia). The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout East and Southeast Asia and have also become popular in Western countries. The game has also been adapted into a widespread online entertainment. Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. To distinguish it from mahjong solitaire, it is sometimes referred to as mahjong rummy. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although many regional variations may omit some tiles or add unique ones. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. In turn, players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form four melds (or sets) and a pair (eye). A player can also win with a small class of special hands. While many variations of mahjong exist, most variations have some basic rules in common including how a piece is drawn and discarded, how a piece is robbed from another player, the use of suits (numbered tiles) and honors (winds and dragons), the basic kinds of melds allowed, how to deal the tiles and the order of play. Beyond these basic common rules, numerous regional variations exist which may have notably different criteria for legal melds and winning hands, radically different scoring systems and even elaborate extra rules. A group of players may introduce their own house rules which can notably change the feel of play. Old Hong Kong mahjong is played with a standard set of 144 mahjong tiles (though cards may be used).

An step by step outline on how to play the Chinese Traditional Game- Mahjong

I'm not a gamer. I don't play run-and-shoot games. I don't play build-an-empire and rule-the-world types of games. I hate ancient mystery games. I play Spider Solitaire, of course, and Mah Jong. Actually, I play the MJWin version of Mah Jong, which is really Mahjong solitaire, which is also known as Shanghai solitaire. In any case, I play with the "Medieval" tile set, which has really obvious shields and swords and banners and stained glass windows and bows and arrows and buxom half-dressed damsels in distress waving from far parapets, wait, wait, I made that up, I'm just joking. No, so, anyway, the Medieval tile set has all that stuff, except for the damsels in distress part, and the tiles are easy to see and not too hard to match, and I think that tile set is also known as the Feebleminded Boring White Guy Tile Set. So I play Mah Jong until I freakin' win. That's all there is to it. I play until I win. Or I give up. Basically. But that's a hard and fast rule with me. Win or give up. There's no in-between ground. Anyway, I just got done playing, losing, replaying, and re-losing a Mah Jong game for three days. I mean not three solid days. I went to work. Went to bed. Ate breakfast. Changed the cat box. That sort of thing. Sure. But otherwise, I was playing that one stupid game. And I finally won. Ta-Dah! Boy, was I glad. It was starting to really PI$$ me off. Anyway, that's how I've been wasting my life. What an idiot!

The magician places that deck on the table, and puts another card behind the deck. The magician shoots that card into the deck and it slides into the exact place where the audience's card is. Assassin - The audience selects a card and puts it back into the deck. The magician spreads the deck on the table, and takes out a random card. The card is then shot into the spread deck, and accurately hits the chosen card. Random Change - The magician divides the whole deck into 4 piles casually, and reveals 4 Kings on the top of each pile. The magician carries on with these 4 Kings and transforms them into 4 Aces in the blink of an eye. Machine Gun - The magician finds out 4 Aces as the assistants, and then asks 4 spectators to select a card individually. After putting 4 selected cards back into the deck, the magician divides the deck into 4 piles, and sets each Ace behind each pile. Then the Aces are shot one by one into the piles to find out the spectators' cards. Mind Freak - The magician asks the audience to remember one card when riffling the deck. Without extra moves, the magician immediately puts the whole deck onto the spectator's hand, and asks him/her to repeat that card silently in the mind. The magician then senses the correct answer and reveals it with a mental style. Furthermore, the selected card is reversed in the deck for a second surprise. I hate Lu Chen's ACAAN - The audience and the magician exchange their roles, and proceed with the classic "A.C.A.A.N" routine to find out the named card at the designated position. ITH Alone In A Crowd - One card is selected by the audience and put back into the middle of the deck. The magician turns over this middle part and it's sandwiched between the other two piles. The magician then shows off with the acrobatic-like move to reverse the middle part. Nothing done seems helpful for finding the card. However, the magician succeeds when the audience's card is found out the only one left face-up. Marked Deck of Poor Quality - The magician asks the audience to select a card and put it back into the deck. Following that, the magician reveals the secret that a marked deck is employed. However, due to the poor quality, the marks are so hard to recognize. Seemingly having an awkward condition, the magician gives a jaw-dropping finale to reveal the audience's card.English & Japanese Subtitles Available Running Time Approximately: 1hr 45min Reviews & Quotes: "Sniper just changed the game!"- Eric Ross "Sniper exactly shoot my heart."- Hondo (Creator of Cobra Kiss and Infinitum.)
