The MacGyver of Magic Reveals His Secrets to Score Free Drinks in Revision3's New Show 'Scam School'

Screw Rabbits, These Tricks Get You Booze!

SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Revision3 (http://revision3.com/), the leader in professionally produced Internet television, launches "Scam School" (http://revision3.com/scamschool), featuring Brian Brushwood, a magician known nationwide for his live shows and podcasts. "Scam School" is a do-it-yourself guide to performing magic tricks guaranteed to entertain friends and strangers, and score you free drinks at the bar.

To celebrate the launch, Revision3 will be releasing an episode a day for the first week of the show. The show is available for download or embedding at http://www.revision3.com/scamschool. After the launch week, new episodes will be available weekly on Fridays at 4pm.

"With 'Scam School,' we're doing something that's never been done before," said Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3. "We're actually lifting the veil on popular magic tricks, to teach our audience how to perform them just like famous magicians. But all of our tricks have a purpose: to help you score points -- and free drinks -- at the bar. What could be better for our 21-30 year old target market?"

Revision3's latest addition to their Internet TV programming roster joins other popular shows including "The Totally Rad Show" (http://revision3.com/trs), "Diggnation" (http://revision3.com/diggnation), "popSiren" (http://revision3.com/popsiren) and "iFanboy" (http://revision3.com/ifanboy). Each "Scam School" episode follows professional magician and prankster Brian Brushwood around town as he "schools" ordinary folks on how to scam their friends and score points with strangers.

"If magic had a dark, slick, sticky underbelly, it would be 'Scam School,'" said host Brian Brushwood.

Brian Brushwood has been featured on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and CNN's "Life Beyond Limits" for his magical talents. Brushwood is a guest lecturer at Cornell University and is the author of three books about scams and magic, Cheats, Cons, Swindles & Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink, Pack the House: The Ultimate, Ever-Growing Guide to Increasing Attendance to YOUR Campus Events, and Professional's Guide to Fire Eating.
