alt title(s): Con Artist
The Con Man is the smooth operator (called "The Slick", or just "slick") who knows how to lay out The Tale. If The Con does not need a crew (see: The Shill, The Roper), the con man is operating as a Hustler.

Everybody on a con-crew is a grifter, which for some reason is stated as being "on the grift".

See also Short Con.
