"Since I began putting the information inside THE MODERN CON MAN to good use, I have made $12,568 and lost 7 friends, and all this in only 36 hours. Totally worth it. This book may not make you smarter or more handsome, but it sure as hell will make you a lot more interesting — and dangerous — to hang out with." - Eric Garcia, author (Matchstick Men)

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).
