Episode Length 16:25
Hosts Brian Brushwood

In this episode, Brian teaches an earlier version of the "fast and loose" con game we've learned on Scam School before. This one's known as "pricking the garter" and instead of a chain, we use a rolled up belt.

Revision3 Summary

Get a refresher and a history lesson on the Fast and Loose con game we've learned on Scam School before. In this episode, Brian teaches an earlier version of the same scam. This one's known as "pricking the garter" and instead of a chain, we use a rolled up belt. Challenge your friends to see if they can put their finger in the true center of the belt loop so that when you unravel the two ends of the strap, it remains "fast" rather than pulls away "loose."

Next Week

Don't forget to join us next week because we're going to be visiting a very special brewery that makes glow in the dark beer. The question is, does it still glow in the dark after you drink it? You know what I'm talking about. Because then you can keep the lights turned off in the bathroom.
