I've always like the programme, but the series in Las Vegas is just ridiclous! Anybody see the one where they switched the Blackjack shoe? I mean, 100% silly in any casino in the world. Doing it in Vegas? Well... as mark lewis said, not quite the real hustle.

And who in Gods name would stop in a dark parking lot in Vegas to place dice with a guy who looks like Paul? To be honest, I think they have kind of tarnished their previous series (whats the plural of series?? ). But thats just me!

There's a Real Hustle magic special type thing coming on telly soon.
With Pete Firman added to the team.

Can't for the life of me remember what it's called though...

EDIT: Found it, it's called Catch Me If You Can

Thanks, beetlejuice, I'll be looking out for that!

Generally I like TRH, although it's been starting to get to me recently with its obvious fakery. They did some "pickpocketing" on a bus, and even within the same clip you started to recognise the extras - the guy Paul Wilson steals glasses from is sitting down on the bus as another passenger when Alex is targeting someone else and so on.

It's still interesting, but to me the entertainment value is totally lost if it just becomes a cosy demonstration - half the fun is actually seeing people hustled and then being told afterwards.

Plus I've gone off Jess. She's a scally. There are plenty of girls out there with looks AND brains.
