"I love that you frame it as the world's greatest khon, because i feel i've felt this way forvor every time," he says. "People who are we would call con artists, they, through a b, testingd and and like actually practice,. predicted and privately sorted and categorized a lot of things that didn't become part of quantified science until the seventies, the nineties, the two thousands." He adds: "They already had a handle on how to operate within that world without having a foundation of text books to lean upon"

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.
