    Con Games Can Be Fun!       

CON GAMES AND FRAUD SCHEMES

These high-energy, entertaining programs are a must for you and your group!  

Chris has taken material from his three-day intense workshop on Con Games and created shorter programs emphasizing the highlights of his successful shows.  Liven up your annual conferences and seminars with these exciting programs.  These are so popular, that workshop rooms ALWAYS are filled to capacity, and Chris is asked to conduct an additional workshop to handle the turnaways.

 

"The Magical Art of the Con"

(1.5 Hours)

Suggested Audience:  Corporate Workshop, Meetings, Seminars, Library Programs, Conferences and Conventions

See master magician Christopher Manos in his award-winning presentation, “The Magical Art of the Con”.  Watch as your $100 bill turns into a $1 bill, be puzzled as Chris reads your mind, relax as Chris helps you to discover your own magical powers!  We are all subject to the deception and tricks of the con artist.  Using magical effects as a catalyst, attendees are introduced to many of the common cons and fraud schemes used in the past and the present.  Topics that are covered include:  Contest cons, Carnivals, Street Workers, Gypsies, Get Rich Quick Schemes, Gambling, and more!  Many of these common cons are easily recognizable, but somehow we all fall for them.  Audience participation is a must in this fun-filled and entertaining presentation.

 

The Magical Art of the Con  - “Rip-Off”

(1 - 1.5 Hours)

Suggested Audience:  Meetings, Ice-breakers, Family gatherings, Workshops, Conferences and Conventions

Fasten your seat belts as you get taken for a ride with master magician Christopher Manos in his award-winning presentation, “Rip-Off”.  Similar to the Magical Art of the Con experience, this program is strictly entertainment.  Watch Chris as he begins taking money from the group - and as he reluctantly and eventually returns it!  See your $100 bill transform into a $1 bill, be puzzled as Chris reads your mind, relax as Chris helps you to discover your inner magical powers!  There’s a bit of mentalism, street cons, gambling, carnival games and more!  You’ll also be treated to Chris’s entertaining cups and balls routine.  This is perfect for family gatherings, corporate functions, and meetings.   Audience participation is a must in this fun-filled and entertaining presentation.
