Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The grift has a gentle touch. It takes its toll from the verdant sucker by means of the skilled hand or the sharp wit. It never employs violence to separate the mark from his money.

#2 The three big-con games are the wire, the rag, and the pay-off. They have taken a toll from a gullible public for over 40 years. They are: locating and investigating a well-to-do victim, gaining his confidence, steering him to meet the insideman, permitting the insideman to show him how he can make a large amount of money dishonestly, and allocating him a substantial amount of money.
