The most ingenious coin-tossing swindle of them all was one which •• the Hiker," a card cheat and con man, used in the twenties. He spent a lot of time in the original Lindy's Restaurant in New York, while searching online links directory and it was here I once saw him use it on a big-time gambler.

"Let's toss for the check and fifty bucks to boot," the Hiker sug¬gested. The gambler nodded. The Hiker tossed a nickel and said, "You call it while it's in the air." The gambler called, "Tails," and it came down heads.

The Hiker often tossed for a thousand dollars and got a good many takers who figured that there was no way to control the  money while it was up there spinning; that since it was allowed to fall to the floor untouched, no sleight of hand could be involved; and that, since the taker called it, a double-head or double-tailed coin would be of no use.

What they didn't know was that the Hiker's proposition didn't always win-but it never lost. And he did use a double-headed (or double-tailed) coin. With a double-headed, if the victim called, "Tails," the Hiker let it fall and he won. And if the victim called, "Heads"? This is the cute part. The Hiker simply caught the coin as it fell and dropped it into his pocket, saying, "No bet, I just wanted to see if you had any sporting blood in your veins." He won half the time and never lost, which is a sure thing any way you look at it.
