Hustling

In the last year the viewing public have learned a great deal about a certain type of criminal in the extremely successful TV series Hustle. The first Hustle DVD is released this week and it's set to be a best-seller!

Hustle is all about the adventures of a group of con artists. Con artists are people who persuade rich people to give them lots of money to finance projects or plans that do not exist! The ideas are often very complicated. Sometimes the group create a real background for the trick by hiring actors, offices or houses to persuade the people they are conning that they are genuine. For them, lying is an art!
