550 banner.jpg

Diamond Jim Tyler is a world class close-up magician who has lectured and performed for magicians and corporate clients around the world…well, he hasn’t yet been to Japan, but I’m sure that’s coming soon. Diamond Jim is well known as the author of the three volume series of “Bamboozlers” books which contain bar bets and friendly cons. He is working on a fourth volume and ultimately a compendium of the series. Diamond Jim is also known for his many appearances with Brian Brushwood on his “Scam School” episodes.

This week we give you the first in a series of episodes guest starring Brian's pal, the award-winning badass magician Diamond Jim Tyler! Be like Diamond Jim ...
