    Short-Changing
    by Penny Ante Jim
    "Short-changing" is used by unscrupulous ticket takers, food vendors, carnival workers, clerks and cashiers -- anywhere that money changes hands. This book contains the "inside dope" on how the sucker is fleeced and how to protect yourself from becoming the next victim.
    Described are various short-changing techniques, including the
    Bar Room Clip
    ,
    Carnival and Circus Take
    and the
    Bill Slip-Over
    .
    Original copies of the privately printed first edition are extremely hard to find (a recent copy sold at auction for 0). We're pleased to announce that this must-have exposure of
    the grifter's short-change con is once again available again in this updated and revised edition.
    This edition now includes illustrations and photographs, as well as examples of "the work," ready to perform on the next sucker.
    Not to be used for any illegal purpose. Offered for protection and lecture purposes only.
    Softcover, 25 pages, saddle-stitched.
