Few magicians know the secrets of the Change Raisers, those glib grifters who cheat cashiers and clerks into returning too much change. Crudely effective in the hands of a novice, the swindle is devastating and virtually undetectable in the hands of a skilled professional. W. M. Tucker, a former professional magician, captured all the subtleties, techniques and tricks in an extraordinary manuscript that was tightly circulated in the early 60's. Long unobtainable, his manuscript has been reprinted and is again available for the first time in more than 30 years! The detail is all here. The build-up, the take, the weak points, variations on the scheme and how to prevent the trick from working. In addition, this book also includes information on shortchange artists and other cash register scams, including The Marked Bill, The Split Bill, The Torn Bill and the Flim-Flam (Pigeon Drop). Here is the most comprehensive examination of change raisers and their methods ever written. For those who wish to incorporate this material into their act, Tuckers stage routine is included. 32 pages; softbound.
