 In a scene where Patrick Magee (I) (qv) was supposed to deal  cards, he began to sweat, and the sweat on his palms made it nearly  impossible to deal cards smoothly. Stanley Kubrick (qv) brought in  a professional card dealer, and then realized that the card dealers  hands were smooth while Magees were hairy. To prevent continuity  problems, Magees hands were shaved so the cuts would both look like  him.
