A Card Sharp is a person who cheats at card games.

Specifically, "card sharp" and "card shark" are almost interchangeable terms.
Isn't it "Card Shark"?
Card Sharp is the actual term. People commonly use 'card shark' and it's wrong.
I thought that until I did a little research. They're both considered correct, and at least in the US, they're becoming recognized as having slightly different meanings/implications.
A card sharp is a person who takes advantage of other players by cheating.
A card shark is a person who merely takes advantage of less-skilled players. Notably, it doesn't carry the implications of cheating.
That said, the "sharp" variant did come first.
Same thing in the Act II flavor text, "The card sharp skids to a halt..."
In addition to being correct as mentioned by others, TF literally thwaks you with the edge of his, while magically enhanced, cards. So you better hope they have a bit of an edge to them. :)
