There is a movie that I just finished watching: The Brothers Bloom. It is the best movie I have seen in a long time. It's all about a con job. Go watch it. Go watch it now.
There is a mystic I think to con men. It's something that tugs at me every now and again. I've always thought of it as the ultimate combination of wit and skill. Sometimes I just wish that my moral compass would point south every once in a while just so I could try this type of thing.
There is something to be said for experience however and I doubt I'd be good at a con job. I think though that a part of the appeal is the appeal in lockpicking, or planning a heist. A large risk a large reward and the story ends. That may be the biggest reason I'll not be pulling a con job. The story doesn't end there.
No matter how big the job there's always more to want. Maybe you get a trip around the world, maybe you get a large house and a cool car. But these things aren't worth the pull of another job, another chance to win.
