Jimmy has no idea how it happened, but somehow he was born with a gift, a talent to play and read cards, dice, any game of chance, better than just about anyone in the world.
Lying Cheating Bastard is the intriguing tale of a young man being drawn into the seedy underbelly of Sydney, the story of infamous con-man Jimmy Garcia aka "The Cricket", and how he became the most successful con-man in Australia by the age of 27.
Part mystery, part coming-of-age story, part demonstration of the finer arts of trickery, Lying Cheating Bastard is the extraordinary story of Jimmy's induction into the murky world of gangsters and grift. Featuring close-up projection of Jimmy's card scams live on stage, Lying Cheating Bastard stars internationally acclaimed magican James Galea and his increasingly astonishing feats of skill with cards and sleight of hand.
Recommended for Ages 12+.
