About Scam School

If Harvard offered a PhD in deceit, this would be it. Brian Brushwood takes viewers on an inside tour of bar tricks, street cons, and scams. If you watch carefully, you'll never have to pay for a drink again!

"Scam School" is a short-format series, with each episode teaching a usable bar trick, street con, or scam to pull on friends. The show is based largely on Brian Brushwood's book Cheats, Cons, Swindles and Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink, Brian’s lecture Scams, Sasquatch, and the Supernatural, and the dozens of bar-tricks, puzzles, and scams Brian has picked up over his 8 years of touring nationwide.
