Book of Cons

[darek]

I was wondering... Do any of you know any good books of cons? I have really great book of cons (I don't rememeber the title though), where every con was shown in details. The book was about cons using in 30' or 40'. That's what I remember. I'm big fan of "The Real Hustle" TV show, and I like to know how the cons are done. So. Any of you know good book?

I think there is a new book out by Todd/Tim Robbins called "The Modern Con Man"... haven't checked it out yet, but I heard it's a great book.

some others that come to mind:

"The art of steal" by frank abagnale (you might remember the guy from the movie Catch Me If You Can)

"HOw to Cheat at Everything" by Simon Lovell

"100 ways to win a tenner" by Paul Zenon (basically just a bunch of bar bets, pretty good)

Even I was looking for cons. Here is one. An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural By James Randi. He also has some more stuff on reveling secrets of cons.
