Lying Cheating Bastard

Lying Cheating Bastard is the story of a young trickster, irresistibly drawn to the seedy underbelly of Sydney. It is the story of infamous con-man Jimmy Garcia (aka The Cricket), and how he became the most successful con-man in Australia by the tender age of 27. Part mystery, part coming-of-age story, part demonstration of the finer arts of trickery, Lying Cheating Bastard starring Australia's No. 1 Magician James Galea and his astonishing feats of skill with cards and sleight of hand.
