For the rest of the month, we'll be sharing daily Employment Tips from our book excerpt in Penthouse:
Here are not only some real-world employment tips, but also ways that the modern con man lifestyle can come in handy after you've punched out.
Injury Attorney:
"If you're in a hospital with your spine being held together by duct tape and a brace, and I show up, you know it's not just to hand you a get-well-soon card. I like that there's an immediate understanding. I'm looking for gain from your pain. This won't cost you a cent, but if we win, I'm taking a big piece. Nice to meetcha."
Tip to the Modern Con Man:
"If you get caught doing what you're doing, be up front. If you're hitting on a girl and she calls you on it, say 'Yep, you got me. I wanted to talk to you from the moment you walked in.' The weirdest thing is, when you play things like you got nothing to hide, it actually makes you more mysterious. People, and I mean women, really dig that."
Tomorrow: For the final installment, a House Painted finishes the job.

Who is Todd Robbins?
In addition to being America's #1 Con Man, Todd Robbins has a long list of other accomplishments ... a goodly number of them legal. You may have seen him on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, or Late Night with Conan O'Brien. But it's just as likely you've never heard of him - because Todd is a well-known authority and practitioner of all things deceptive.
Todd also uses his skills in more offbeat ways. He was one of the more successful participants in an underground experiment known as The Urban Survival Project. Individuals were dropped off in major cities without a dime in their pocket and left to live by their wits for a week. At the end of the seven days, Todd had not missed a single meal, was living in a nice hotel and had almost five hundred dollars on his person.
Additional praise for Todd Robbins includes "A legend!" (New York Post), "The Flim-Flam Maestro" (New York Magazine) and "The Master of Old-World Deception" (New York Newsday).
