Welcome to The Grift. The Grift tells the story of some of history’s most famous cons. A team of grifters breaks down each con by walking the audience through the many fascinating steps of how the con works and how the original con artist(s) perpetrated the scam. Told in juxtaposition the historical con acts as a vehicle to see the scam in action being perpetrated on an unsuspecting mark. Time to meet the team: Simon Lovell, aka The Professor, has been said to have sold the Eiffel Tower to two separate marks while working the same con. Apollo Robbins, The Gentleman Thief, actually pick-pocketed one of President Carter’s Secret Service agents while at a show. The Inside-Man Eli, who can convince anyone to buy air-con in the Artic. The drop dead gorgeous Ava Do, has charms that make any mark thankful to have been conned. And finally, meet Tommy Pickles -- one of the best computer hackers in the biz. If you haven’t figured it out, you’ve just met the all-stars of the long con. These are the best in the game and they have been assembled to perpetrate cons on unsuspecting marks. Whether it’s high net-worth individuals or big organizations, no one is impervious to this group’s talent or charm.
