by Penny Ante Jim

The classic treatise on the grifter's short-change con, now available again! Don't let it happen to you!

Short-changing is used by unscrupulous ticket takers, food vendors, carnival workers, clerks, cashiers -- anywhere that money changes hands. This book contains the "inside dope" on how it works and how to protect yourself from becoming a victim.

Described are various short-changing techniques, including the Bar Room Clip, Carnival and Circus Take and the Bill Slip-Over.

Every word has been reset in crystal clear type for easy reading. Illustrations and photographs are now included, including examples of "the work" ready to perform on the next sucker.

The purchaser agrees not to use these methods for illegal purposes. Sold for information only.

Revised and expanded version features numerous corrections and edits making it easier to comprehend than ever before. Edited by B.W. McCarron, former security consultant and author of "The Gambling Magician."
