This is a humorous book, written by a devious fellow who used his knowledge of human nature to hoodwink people just for the fun of it. Victims lost no money, but encounters with the hoaxer left them with bruised egos and feelings of extreme embarrassment. The hoaxer's payoff came in the form of laughter. You'll share in the fun as you accompany a master hoaxer through 60 years of outrageous and hilarious schemes that induced people to believe things that weren't so. If you consider yourself too perceptive and too worldly-wise to fall prey to a hoaxer, beware! Serious hoaxers find little satisfaction in fooling dumb bunnies or yokels. This would be too much like shooting fish in a barrel. As demonstrated repeatedly throughout this book, hoaxers get their kicks by bamboozling intelligent, rational, wary individuals.
