Overview

Learn how to make a quick $10 by tricking friends

As opposed to offering up typical magic tricks, this hilarious collection of scams, swindles, bets, and stunts features everyday objects and requires no special skills—just nerve. Some of the scams presented include how to drink from a champagne bottle without opening it, guess the date on a coin as it spins on the table, and pull a 10-dollar bill out from under a beer bottle without touching or knocking over the bottle. This amusing guide claims that a cheater, armed with the right skills, always wins and provides a crash course in conning at cards, pool, bets, and pretty much any activity where a sucker can be cornered into taking a chance.
