Includes the required gold-colored chain to perform this routine. Measuring approximately five feet in length, this steel chain features the classic French Rope design, making it ideal for the Endless Chain Swindle and other chain effects.
 
The eight hour course covered the history, moves, ruses, psychology and application to magic of the three classic street swindles: Three Card Monte, Fast and Loose, and the Shell Game. 

This booklet contains the notes from that class on the scam Fast and Loose, and its more modern variation known as On the Barrelhead.

​Lots of photos!

This booklet covers everything from the history of the game through the psychology of the moves as it is performed on the street by grifters.

It includes three different Fast and Loose exhibition routines–including the famous Jules Lenier routine–along with thorough explanations and patter.

It is the most in-depth treatise on the subject ever written. 

Many new moves, methods, hooks and come-ons never before in print.

“The School for Scoundrels Notes on Fast and Loose is clearly the definitive work on the subject. Several items (such as the Lee Earle bit) take the effect/game to a whole new level.”
—Darwin Ortiz

“Whit Haydn and Chef Anton’s wonderful treatise on the Endless Chain contains by far the very best material on this classic swindle. To quote Charlie Miller , ‘It’s the real work!’ This book has changed my thinking on this scam completely.”
—Johnny Thompson
