Let's say it wasn't BenjaminMS who was close. At all.
You know, I may actually change my mind to a more obvious answer, as the one step to said new answer has surprisingly not yet been mentioned.
Nah, I won't change it. Someone's been close, perhaps uncomfortably so. I'll keep it at what it is. Perhaps someone'll get it soon. The answer has almost practically been given slightly already, if that made any sense.
And DarkLogician, the only guesses you've made were Prohibition and a bunch of thieves. That's card guesses, of course. Not particularly random, I'd say. Just a comment.
