Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari Joins Casino Player Magazine
May 13, 2009
Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari, the young professional who has cashed millions in poker tournament winnings, has this week agreed to join the Casino Player magazine as a columnist.
The move comes as the number 1 publication in North America tries to broaden its appeal to gamblers by offering poker as well as casino game based articles.
Casino Player Publications decided that in order to maintain the high quality that is already offered by the magazine to its readers, they would only look to include professional poker players who could write regular columns for the magazine.
Esfandiari said
I’m excited to come onboard as a columnist for Casino Player. This magazine has had a huge following for many years, and right now it looks sharper than ever. In order to stay on top at the tables, you can never stop learning–and whether you’re a casual player or a pro, every issue of Casino Player contains a wealth of information that is designed to give you the edge.
With Casino Player making this signing, they next looked to highly respected poker ambassador and brother of the famous Mike Sexton.
Tom Sexton will debut in his first issue by writing an article in memory of his late friend and poker legend, Chip Reese.
With two columnists already onboard the magazine decided that they needed to offer readers more… Give the readers exactly what they want to read.
With the worlds best video poker player Bob Dancer, media director of the World Series of Poker Nolan Dalla and Frank Scoblete, who is seen as the leading craps authority in America all writing for the magazine, the chances of the magazine receiving extended reputation is expected to be very high.
Managing editor Rob Wiser said
Our readers range from the industry’s top executives, to celebrity pros and everyday players who want to know about the latest events, promotions and deals. Now, by adding Antonio Esfandiari and Tom Sexton to the mix, this publication is stronger than ever–and with 21 years under our belt, that’s really saying something.
You can definately say that again Rob.
