Hey, Eagle. Good question. Here is a definition I found, which I'll update the BTP glossary with.
Mitt joint - (USA) A club where the house cheats the players, or one that turns a blind eye to cheating in general.
low_dough: BTP will have a 'names for hands' article soon, too (also donated by TUP), but there is currently no historical background to each name, which would be good to have. A cursory glance around the internet does not enlighten me to the origin of this particular name. Anyone know?

I believe Presto! is a pair of fives in the pocket. Do not have any historical origin info though.

Presto is a pair of fives - picture a magician spreading his fingers in front of him to show you that there is nothing in his hands: five fingers and nothing else in one hand - five in the other - five-five
