RULES OF HIGH CLASS ROBBERY Arrive late! Go early, because rarity heightens appreciation! Speak little or incoherently, as it suggests depth of thought. Scintillate without letting the effort show (no one needs to know you work nights in a bar)! A slight stiffness of neck can be very advantageous for your posture! There is no such thing as heels that are too high. Stop your drama! Go on! Keep training! At the first international Congress of Con Men (1999) in Berlin a con man was defined as follows: He is: 1. a revolutionary, who exposes prevalent character masks by affirmation, 2. a reactionary, who is over-versed in rules and norms and 3. a trail blazer of that particular mainstream of society, that enshrines the dominance of semblance over substance – and thus currently a trend setter.
