I love this story so much, unlike a thousand different levels, one being its pure psychological warfare. But it hearkens into your massive area of experts, which is conaristry, magician thinking, audience thinking. And that's like a huge part of this, right? The vignette that i like to share with people for years and years. I say, how would you do it? And invariably, what happens, the next words out of their mouths are the exact method of how they would do it,. "But that would be stupid" You've solved it.

In this episode, we sit down with famed stage magician, infamous instructor of the school of scams, Brian Brushwood, whose new podcast explores the world's greatest con artists and con jobs from World War II to modern game shows.

We cover everything in this episode from why you can't con an honest person to the power of shame and fame to folk psychology to how the British conned Hitler using one of the oldest tricks in the book to how one man broke the code for Press Your Luck earning him the most money ever awarded in a single day on any program in the history of game shows.
