2.0 out of 5 stars
Don't get fooled by all the 5-star reviews,

This review is from: Cheats, Cons, Swindles, and Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink (Kindle Edition)
I definitely fell into the trap of seeing so many 5-star reviews (at the time of this writing there are 57 5-star reviews and a single 3-star review), and was convinced that this book was going to be fantastic. At $1, it's not an outright scam, but I can't see myself using any of the "tricks" in this book to impress any of my friends. I think I was expecting some interesting close-up magic tricks that would be relatively easy to pull off using things you'd find at a bar, but those are largely absent from this book. Here are some of the "highlights": 1) Ask your friend which city is further West: Reno or Los Angeles? (SPOILER ALERT: It's Los Angeles). That is actually one of the 57 "tricks". This is what I'm paying for? 2) Carefully peel an orange, trying to keep the peel intact. Wrap the peel around an apple. Peel your new "orange" in front of your friends... yup - that's it. I'm not sure that's going to win a lot of free drinks at the bar! 3) Tell your friends that you have a pencil that can write any color. Ask them a color they want your pencil to write. Let's say they pick "red" - take a sheet of paper and write "R-E-D" on the paper. Ha! Free drinks all around, amirite? As you can see - these "tricks" aren't exactly along the lines that I was expecting as a means of pulling clever tricks at a bar with friends. I don't think I'd be willing to even try these on my 5-year old nephew without fear of him groaning at his lame uncle. The only reason I bumped this up to 2-stars is that at $0.99, I don't feel too terribly cheated by this book, but I definitely don't understand where all of these fantastic ratings came from!

Worth 99 cents,

This review is from: Cheats, Cons, Swindles, and Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink (Kindle Edition)
The tricks contained in this book formed the basis of his Revision 3 show, Scam School and are very easy to learn yet will provide hours and hours of entertainment and not to mention free drinks. Seriously these tricks will make you THE life of the party.
Cheats, Cons, Swindles and Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink is well worth 99 cents. Fans of free drinks, Scam School, magic tricks or Brian Brushwood would do well to download this fine publication. Love this book.

Great book and a steal at this price,

This review is from: Cheats, Cons, Swindles, and Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink (Kindle Edition)
I bought this book several years ago for 10 or 15 bucks and got my money's worth the first night. Any one of these scams will get you a free drink, so even if you just do it for a Coke you'll be ahead after one scam.
There is no reason not to buy this book. Even if you don't do bar bets it may save you from being scammed by someone who does. Click buy now. You won't be disappointed.
