The other version I watched was about 20 minutes long, and today I watched one that was 24 minutes long. Note that IMDb.com lists the film at being 30 minutes long while Wikipedia lists it as being 22 minutes long.

Instant Comments:
1: Hmm. I wonder if its easier to be tilting the camera or be tilting the set. I imagine tilting the set due to be easier to animate sliding.
1: Smile. That fake shuffling, and then when the man cut the cards, he just restored the order
1: hehe, gun under the butt
1: ha! that transition from one bean at a time to a knifeful is comedic genius
1: hehe that's a good sequence (coin covering and picking up)
1: hehe refusing too many times
