For those who don't know, I'm currently traveling around Europe looking for people playing The Shell Game and Three Card Monte.
A few weeks ago I was in Barcelona where I tracked down the Trileros on Las Ramblas. I filmed and photographed them as well as took extensive notes on their sleight of hand, and psychological techniques. Last weekend I was in Stockholm where I interviewed victims and local shopkeepers about their experiences with the shell game. I even filmed a victim hold his wallet open while the con artist took the money out I've written up the first part of the Barcelona trip here with more to come. http://honestconman.blogspot.com/2009/06......one.html |

Nick: I read your blog where you photographed on the street. Years ago, I had a mirror attachment that fit on my lens that permitted me to point my camera in one direction, while photographing in another. I don't know if they are still available or if they would fit on the new small digital cameras, but they were cheap, and they might work for you.

Nick: I don't know what kind of camera you have, but if you google 'right angle camera lens', you'll find them. I just saw one for a Cannon for $30.
