(How to Win Free Drinks for Life) by Simon Lovell - Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy Thomas McShane - FBI retired \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e(Author of Stolen Masterpiece Tracker)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“G man beware of this C (Con) Man!” was a warning I took to heart when I crossed paths with Simon Lovell. For years, Simon was top of the G Man’s most-wanted list of con artists. During my 26 years as the FBI's go-to undercover Art Expert, Simon was always lurking in the shadows, evading capture with an almost supernatural flair. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis transformation from notorious trickster to charming bon vivant is the highlight of his latest book. It’s a joy to see how his past antics have evolved into a friendship, filled with laughter and tales from the wild days when he’d slip through my fingers like a wisp of smoke! Now that we’re mates, I can see why: beneath that smooth charm lies an uncanny knack for reading situations and bending them to his favour. It’s a sight to behold. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNowadays, whether he’s dazzling audiences in films like \u003ci\u003eHotel Genius\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eMisdirection’s\u003c\/i\u003e, or lending his expertise to the hit USA TV series \u003ci\u003eWhite Collar\u003c\/i\u003e, Simon remains the quintessential Con Man’s Con. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new book takes you on an exhilarating ride through a world of outrageous wagers, suspense, and Simon’s crafty secrets. Much like his Off-Broadway hit show, \u003ci\u003eStrange and Unusual Hobbies\u003c\/i\u003e, this book is a must-read. Picture the \u003cstrong\u003e“Con Father”\u003c\/strong\u003e meeting the \u003cstrong\u003e“Godfather”\u003c\/strong\u003e — you might just find yourself never paying for drinks again! Trust me, I’ve seen Simon dodge a bar tab like a pro; I’ve even footed the bill more than once (don’t judge me). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these pages, Simon reveals how to entice unsuspecting players into the game, keep things light-hearted, and become that fun-loving person everyone wants to buy a drink for. Just don’t go getting too wild and channel your inner Simon — I doubt you want folks like me chasing after you with handcuffs! Grab the book, have some laughs with your mates, and for goodness’ sake, buy two — someone’s bound to try and “Con” you out of one!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThomas McShane\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(FBI retired)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eSo Just What Is a Proposition Man?
