Expert at The Card Table (book) shows some card cheat techniques.

Brian Tudor - Card Sharp
SW Erdnase - expert at the card table

I believe Paul Zennon has a book also.

Try Magicshop.co.uk they have loads of books in this area. Look under 'books'

thanks...i'll look into them.
however, I'm not just looking at card scams etc. i want to read up on a much larger variety, bank scams, business scams, fair ground scams, casino scams, all that jazz.

I don't recall the titles but look up the works of Ricky Jay as well as Harry Anderson and I'm certain you'll find some great resources... other authors & resources would include Todd Robins, our own Mark Lewis (one of the biggest hustlers out there...) and maybe paying a visit to the BUSKERS forums (Danny Hustle) where flim flam is a way of life...

:idea:

I just remembered that Whit Hayden has a hustler's forum as well but I don't have the URL available.

There are many. Try the Paladin Press (you'll have to google it) - I've got a couple of their books on scams. There's Ortiz's Gambling Scams as well, if you can find it.

There's a book on Ponzi, but I forget the title.

Amazon and Google are your friends.

Take care, Ian

please don't buy this. just don't. it's essentially just an exposure video with no real teaching of any kind. it was money wasted!

Simon Lovell's 'How to Cheat At Everything' is on Amazon, may be what you're looking for.

There's a rather nifty review of that at http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic1580.php You might still find some copies at The Works bookshops at about £2.99 each - excellent value!

look into scoundrels... great store and forum just on scams and related subjects.

If all else fails, ask Paul Zenon personally, hes a nice guy, I needed help with my DT coursework (magic related), and he gave me a 4 page reply.
