The guy playing my Huckster )the one who looks forward to the backlash) is convinced that the Book of Hoyle is actually an arcane text full of spells just waiting for him to decipher.

At first I took it in good humor, but I was talking to him today and it seems that he truly believes he will unlock this door to power.

Has anyone else encountered this? cause I have no clue where to begin to bring him to his senses.

My advice is simply to not let him play Unknown Armies ( http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24781 ).
 
Look at it this way: either you're right, or he is.  If you're right, you've nothing to worry about.  He'll learn how to play some really obscure games, and that's it.  If he's right, then you won't want to be on his bad side when he learns Eulogy.
 
Now, has he shelled out for an antique copy of The Book yet?  Because, you know how bad the content was in the 1878 edition; it's doubtful that anything would come out of a modern one.
