What Customers Say About How to Cheat at Everything: A Con Man Reveals the Secrets of the Esoteric Trade of Cheating, Scams, and Hustles:

The book is quite thorough in the topics it covers. Any book on con men reveals how easily smart people can be lead to do strange things. This book is no exception. If you're interested in how the mind works and tricks, magic and acts of guile it's a great book. Dantalion Jones - author of many books
This is a well written entertaining piece of work that can be pursued in small pieces. It covers human nature and the mechanics of some of the more popular cons and how to use them.The sections on bar bets is worth the price of the book alone. I purchased a second copy and sent it to my son-in-law as a Christmas present after I conned him with one of the bar bets.Aside from this, the conman character takes one on a great Elmore Leonard path.
When the title read "How to Cheat at Everything", I was under the assumption that "everything" meant everything, not just street games, pool hustles and card & dice games. This book is mistitled. Not at all what I expected. The average person almost never encounters these things. There were a few passages on internet scams and chain letters, but not much else.Unless you hang around a bunch of street hustlers, this book is a waste of time.By the way, can I still return it.
Who wouldn't want to gain the oohs and aahs of friends at dinner or a bar.This book is loaded with some fantastic tricks. It's not teaching readers about ripping people off, though those stories are mixed in throughout.If you want a very unusual gift book, this is it.
THIS BOOK WAS FOUND IN THEIR POSSESSIONS. THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR WILL ONLY GET YOU SO FAR.IN REFERENCE TO THE BOOK, ONLY A MENTALLY DISTURBED SOCIOPATH WOULD READ IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE IS A COUPLE IN PHILADELPHIA,PA (SEE PHILLY.COM) THAT WAS RECENTLY BUSTED FOR FRAUD, AND IDENTITY THEFT. IT WILL ONLY GET YOU SO FAR. IF NOT PRISON, 6 FEET OF DIRT AT THE CEMETARY OF YOUR CHOICE FOR SCREWING OVER THE WRONG PERSON.SAD, BUT TRUE.
