The Real Hustle

"How much could they get from you?"

British documentary and Companion Show to Hustle. Started in 2006 and still ongoing. The show follows a team of good con artists consisting of a pair of magicians and a model as they demonstrate contemporary cons and how to avoid them. While it was Hustle's non-fiction counterpart, it's become a show in its own right and has overtaken it in episode count, as well as expanding its cast.
