-If you find yourself short of money then fake a convulsion, I should know I’m a con artist. First of all put some toothpaste in your mouth and foam it up good, wobble on your legs and then fall to the ground and roll onto your back. When a well-meaning bystander tries to shove his billfold in your mouth to keep you from biting down on your tongue, roll over on your stomach and remove the cash. With your arms and legs flailing it is easy to pull a billfold out of a pants or jacket pocket. I should know I’ve done it many times before. Grab a hold of the bystander and continue to flail, you can remove wristwatches, bracelets and necklaces without them even noticing. It is imperative that you practice these techniques with a friend or perhaps your dog--after all practice makes perfect.
