The Con Artist Handbook Paperback – 15 Oct. 2004

Dodgy

Quite interesting but a bit short really. Good explanation of the 3 card trick or 'find the lady' - watch out for them with their cardboard box table on the South Bank where I have spotted them! Almost all known con tricks are fully explained in this book with some biographies of famous con artists. Not quite up to date enough to include the biggest pyramid builder since the pharoahs - Mr Bernie Madoff and his very recent ponzi scheme - but a good explanation of how to go about it.

Don't be conned into buying this book if you want to learn how to be a con artist because it will teach you nothing.

not bad bit dated for the pro con man my mate says i wouldnt know about stuff like that but my mate bri does

Good to read if you want to learn a little bit of history and how cons work

This book is vrilliant, even the paper is of the highest qaulity! the book has around 30 cons, scams and hustles, do you watch Hustle? (BBC1)If you do you will see how every con they have ever done is done. the diffrent variations etc. i would recomend this, but beware you have to be practiced, another thing if you are planning to be a con artist, then don't, this book will tell you why, it's a good read. TiMe To bE NeGaTiVe;1) Not enough pages.2) Needs to say more about each con.
