This does not defend against the Turner Coup (named after the former
director of the CIA who was a keen bridge player), where one of the team
getting a
bad result uses sleight of hand to rotate the wallet by 90 degrees when
putting
back his cards before the three other hands are replaced in room 1. The
director assumes when he gets a result in room 2 that it must have been
misboarded by both pairs on the second occasion!

Ah, I stand by my statement in my last post that wallents can be confusing! I suppose that everyone has heard of the little manoeuvre whereby you can tell (if the second table playing the board) that the slam fails if your opponents do not have to sort their cards? Of course, this can always be foiled if you count your cards in a way as to change their order.
Cheers
