Cons, scams, switches and swindles have been around for centuries and unfortunately have been associated with magic and magicians. How often have you heard, “watch your wallets and watches, he’s a magician!”? Perhaps it dates back to the street magicians as seen in the iconic painting from the 16th century, “The Conjuror” by Hieronymus Bosch.

This week we chat with Ian Keable from London, England, who has recently completed a book on hoaxes in the 18th century England. It is a rather specific area of interest and point in time, but nonetheless interesting and important. I believe this will have interest to all magicians, historians and the general public that will make for intelligent conversation at the right time when you need to pull out some bit of pre-Victorian trivia.
