We had a wizz idea yesterday. We decided to go to the observation roof at the Rockefeller Centre, and see if we could raise some funds from some greedy rich people.
They can never resist 'Find the Lady' or as it is otherwise known - the three-card Monte.
This is a classic short con in which the outside man pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the inside man, while in fact conspiring with the inside man to cheat the mark.
We also hit on the idea of dressing up as the tyrant and his sidekick so he would have to take the heat.
All was going well until one of the punter's was a bit too sharp and picked the Queen - Hitmouse tried a Mexican turnover to exchange it with another card but he fumbled it and we was rumbled.
We made a dash for it - and who do you think we bumped into on the stairs - the arch boaster himself!
Like to see how he talked his way out of that one!
