Opportunity Arises To Purchase Bond's Casino Suit

Film buffs and poker fans may wish to bid for the suit worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale when the item goes under the hammer next week.

An auction takes place at London's Old Billingsgate next week and one of the lots up for sale is the suit worn by Daniel Craig as he played poker in James Bond movie Casino Royale.

Taking place on Tuesday June 17th, the event has been organised to raise funds for the National Film and Television School, according to the Press Association. It is part of the Great British Movie event, which will be hosted by BBC presenter Jonathan Ross.

Poker fans may be among those bidding for the tuxedo as it is the same one Craig sported as he beat his enemy Le Chiffre at a game of no-limit Texas hold'em.

Ian Fleming's Bond is a regular gambler and most of the films about the secret agent include scenes at poker tables and other games.

Casino Royal also involved a scene where Bond wins the keys to a sports car in a game of poker.
