Book Reviews of The Modern Con Man: How to Get Something for Nothing
Book Review: an awfully fun read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is slick, stylish and very naughty. I read "The Modern Con Man" for fun, and it is fun. That doesn't mean I'm above using some of these cons to see if they work. In fact, I already have. I used one last week when staying in a hotel on a business trip, and when I made my way to the hotel lounge, my drinks were on the house. This book is more than fun, it pays for itself!
Summary of The Modern Con Man: How to Get Something for Nothing
Cons, bar bets, card games, and general chicanery for the natural-born prankster. Whether it's winning $50 on a bar bet, scoring seats closer to the fifty-yard line, or finagling a free meal, The Modern Con Man ensures that aspiring low-risk grifters will always come out on top. Filled with humorous facts and tables, a glossary of con terms, illustrations, the history of the con, and easy-to-follow swindles, this is the perfect gift for the hidden flim-flam artist in your life.
