Train ticket swap.
« on: February 15, 2013, 02:51:45 pm »
A little stunt I pulled on the metro-north in NY.  In cardistry, a miracle change(or flick switch) looks like this -
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZVEJvrAcUo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZVEJvrAcUo</a>

so in the video below, I take a new train ticket and put my old expired ticket behind it.  I show the train conductor saying "hey i forgot my glasses, is this expired?", he looks at the first, says "no", then I flick switch to pass him the old ticket.  I am not sure how helpful this video will be for you guys, but I technically would consider it social engineering because there is some trickery going on.  Think about it like using set, I have created a cloned website that looks like facebook, and made the person type in their password on their computer.  Or in this case, I have shown the conductor a authentic card, and then switched it and made him punch the old card(with would be considered the payload I guess).  I don't believe I could have gotten in trouble for this, because he is the one making the mistake.  This worked on my first attempt :D

This is going to be part of my short film about applying magic to real life.  If anyone has suggestions or whatever, please feel free to tell me I would love to hear em!

Nicely done. Magic is just deception, as is most of social engineering. Psychology is a major component of both.

Very slick

U got balls man, def.
A wise conductor that spots your grift could cause trouble.
I know a metro-north conductor. Generally a nice guy, probably would let you slide if you forgot your cash one day and were up-front about it. If you messed with him though he would definitely call transit cops on you, bc he would take it personal.

Check out an older Cusack film, The.Grifters, some classic moves in that flick

I knew there might be consequences if I got caught.  But part of doing things like that is having complete confidence and not showing signs of nervousness.  Grifters eh?  Ill def check it out
