Fool Your Friends with Pricking the Garter!

Get a refresher and a history lesson on the "fast and loose" con game we've learned on Scam School before. In this episode Brian teaches an earlier version of the same scam. This one's known as "pricking the garter" and instead of a chain, we use a rolled up belt. Challenge your friends to see if they can put their finger in the true center of the belt loop so that when you unravel the two ends of the strap, it remains "fast" rather than pulls away "loose."
