I was going to buy Criss Angel's new book "I'm Not Fake" but decided against it, instead buying Brian Bushwood's new Scam School book. Full disclosure: Brian is a close friend of my son Justin Robert Young, but I hold no bias. Already about 30 pages in and the wit and humor of this book is enough to warrant me buying another copy, if only Amazon would let me. Videos and commentary are fantastic - not too long, but enough to get some great insight into how Brian comes up with the tricks, or how they are submitted by fans. Perhaps he can do a trick some time showing his hand being cut off while in handcuffs...I'd like that. Bushwood has really taken it to a new level with this book - a first of its kind if I'm not mistaken. I'll forever carry it around and try to scam people out of drinks at the bar, never having to worry if I remember the scam or not. I also decided to pick up some light reading music for this book, so I bought Black Water (2006 Remastered).

First, full disclosure, i am a fan of Brian Brushwood. So, this was an automatic buy for me. Now, for my honest opinion.
If you have never heard of Scam School, the premise is simple. Go to a bar. Bet a friend you can do something, they can do something, you can't do something, they can't do something. Get them to buy you a drink.
Simple, right? Then we get into the actual tricks. There are "Scams" for every level, delivery advice, video show and demonstrating the scam, and audio explaining the reasoning behind each one. So, you get the free beer, and get to sound smart. The weaving of sound, video, and text is such a great experience, thanks to catering to how we actually learn, by immersing all of our sense into the subject. Brian's precise style make sure that you will really be able to handle doing the tricks in this book, even after you have scammed that first drink.
Tricks did I say? Didn't I mention? Brian is a professional magician, doing the college circuit across the U.S. He has appeared on Letterman.
And he does a free podcast that teaches similar tricks to you. Did i mention FREE? Search for scam school to see his style of teaching for free. And, you can also watch this guy on the TWiT network, where he co-hosts other free podcasts on a weekly basis.
So, reading this book, I felt i knew what to expect. After all, this is just a rehash of his podcast, right? Boy was I surprised. With all new content, and presented in a way i have never seen before, fully imersive, this book's presentation blew my mind.
I would buy the book again, even though I don't go to bars. This book is just FUN!

This book is full of pure awesome! Brian Brushwood shows why he is destined to be the next big deal in the magic business. He is funny, entertaining, and and shows how to cleverly use every day items to win free drinks at the bar. It is the best of Scam School in an eBook you can take with you to the bar so you can refresh your memory on the finer points of tricks before you perform them. This will make you the hit of the party!

Buy Brushwood's Stuff
Basically Brian Brushwood is the type of entertainer where if you know who he is, you'll probably love everything he does. Buy the book, well worth the price.
