On Scam School (a program by Revision 3) they teach people magic tricks and bar scams. Usually these scams are relatively harmless bar bets, but from time to time they can degenerate.

On the show they’ve covered a few magic tricks, and they’ve covered a few street crimes. This episode they’re going to combine the two and get a magic trick that acts as a smokescreen for an actual crime.
