Greg Chipman was drafted in to work with the star on F1 The Movie, which sees Pitt playing fictional veteran driver and ex-gambler Sonny Hayes returning to the track after a long absence.
His character had to appear to be expert at handling playing cards – which is where Greg came in.
Mr Chipman told the BBC: “He was a fast learner. He cracked how to cut a deck of cards with one hand in less than a day, a move some people might take a month to master.”
Chipman said Pitt’s skills did occasionally let him down on some of the sleight of hand required by his character.
“With the one-hand deck cut, he was a natural, but throwing cards across a room into a bin, that took a little longer.
