Brian Brushwood interview on Magic Newswire (nice!)

[shwooddotcom]

I think this may be my favorite of the interviews we've done so far:

It's long, but relaxed and (I thought) really interesting.

Very cool.

[magicnewswire]

I could not agree more.

I had a great time talking to you and look forward to finding a good excuse to do so again!
Maybe when you hit your 50th anniversary show we can revisit it and see how things have evolved.

Best of luck!

So we are only four episodes deep and two of the episodes have been copies of the real hustle... See for yourselves:

Of course.

I ripped everything off.

...And put it in a book that came out six years before the real hustle.

...and then used a second time machine to tell Harry Anderson about some of the cons in for his book 1986, Games You Can't Lose.

...and Harry Anderson borrowed my spare time machine to go back to the 1920's to hang out with Nick the Greek and all the great con-men of the bootlegger era and explain to them how the cons and proposition bets work...

...and we all owe it to the real hustle.

I'm sorry this had to come out this way. :D

[stevekeller]

haha i had to laugh at your response. sorry for being a douche/troll. i understand that the concept of proposition bets aren't a new thing.

maybe i will keep watching and see what you have to offer.
