a good study of bad criminals with humor

(5 Sterne)

the reader did a fine job, nothing spectacular - but this isnt a drama with characters - so she did just fine. the book is filled with bits of humor, it makes you think Houdini would have been quite the character! some secrets of criminals revealed - some of which i have seen on tv shows and now i realize those writters were not that creative. the book is a short read and worth it.

great!

(3,5 Sterne)

loved the right way to do wrong. even though it seems to be an old book, I found it easy to understand and informative. I am always looking for a book about stealing, pick pocketing, magic by misdirection, seduction, ways to make money, addictions, and psychology. if you would take the time to email me, and suggest a book or know where to get cheap preferably free audio books I would greatly appreciate it. and return the favor!

A Commendable Book

(5 Sterne)

I was sceptic yet this is a singular effort that delivers a grand performance as did his feat’s of skill as an escape artist. I highly recommend this work and heartily endorse its veracity as a former Warden/Officer in Charge for the INS. The treat of a great reader is an added bonus!
