Magic

A Hundred Ways To Win A Tenner- by Paul Zennon

I love this excellent, pocket-sized book of scams, cons and betchas to win you cash or a stack of drinks
There are new twists and many I've never seen before and the book is highly entertainingly written and well illustrated. There are tantaslising tricks and dodges for the pub or bar, for a party, the pool table, from the pocket and some that simply use the body!

The format of the book (pocket sized) with rounded corners and quality paper means you'll take this little beauty out with you to refer to in the privacy of a quiet corner so that you can enjoy the fun of scamming new people anywhere!

There are five sections in "A Hundred Ways To Win A Tenner" ,consisting of:

1 The Drinks Are on You
This section contains classic cons and bar or pub "betchas" to earn you some free drinks, many of the scams are so cool that the crowd you gather round you will back you up when you win your sucker's money when he has to buy you a round of drinks! It's worth knowing these entertaining cons to liven up a mid week pub or to simply get one over on the local pub know it all.

2 Tipped Off
Here the "betchas" move into the territory of seemingly fair bets but you have cunning and probability on your side where the sucker hasn't got much of a chance. Some of the bets are physically impossible for the sucker such as when you challenge him that he wont be able to lift something with his left hand that he can with his right.

3 Sporting Chance
This section delves into the dark realm of card sharps and pool sharks to cleverly con your punter of a crisp tenner using trickery or clever physics to bounce pool balls like a pro player but requiring a lot less skill.

4 Mastermind
This is where you get revenge on those clever dicks and know it alls who think they're so smart it's annoying to everyone. By using red herrings and devious diversions you get one over on them and look cool into the bargain! There's some new twists on classic match puzzles and cracking cons such as "trust me I'm a Doctor" based on a scam used by a famous London gynecologist who could always predict where his pregnant patients baby was going to be a girl or a boy- before any scan could do it!

5 Party animal
This is the section that borders on magic, in fact much of it is magic if you play it up! For example,in "Phoney" you use your "psychic powers" to tell a lady her phone number when your could not have physically have done so, she will be amazed but your spectators will be in the know.

There are tricks, magic and cons for any occasion, it's a joy to read and you can easily make the cost of the book back many times over if you have the nerve!
