mohawkchic: Yeah , The real Hustle is on BBC Entertainment on DSTV. BTW, the people that get conned on the real hustle, do they get their stuff back? And it seems those three people(two guys and a lady) , were professional con artists before? Whats their story? Anyways, I watch Leverage on Dstv and I dont miss it. I think Hustle has some more serious and believable plots and scams. Some plots and Grifting in Leverage are just not tenable. |

~Yeah they Give back goods/money. . they were on Crimewatch Road show giving out some valuable advice while travelling/for summer gigs!!Such an eye opener! [b]Paul Wilson[/b]is a world-renowned expert on cheating, con games and conjuring. He has been studying sleight of hand since he was eight years old after his grandfather taught him how to cheat at Gin. He is now considered to be one of the world’s foremost authorities on crooked gambling and has consulted for casinos, gaming companies and professional players around the world. During the 1990s, Paul spent several years playing against casinos employing advanced methods of “advantage play” such as “card counting”, “shuffle tracking” and “spotting”. While these systems are completely legal in the eyes of the law, the casino industry invests millions of pounds to protect their games from players who use them. In May 2000, Paul retired as a player to become a professional consultant. In 2002 he moved into the film and television industry where he now works as an actor, presenter, writer, producer and director. Paul has created shows for Court TV, NBC and CBS in the US and is currently one of the writer/presenters of The Real Hustle. Jessica-Jane Clement is a Sheffield born TV Presenter, actress and model. Born 24th February 1985, Jessica-Jane started dancing at the tender age of two. By five she was training five nights a week in ballet, tap, jazz, Hip-Hop and gymnastics. By age fourteen, Jessica-Jane's talent created new opportunities for her in the entertainment world, and starred in her first short film. After studying acting and A-Level Psychology at College, Jessica-Jane was offered a place at the prestigious institution, Darting College of Arts. Before making the move to the South West, however, Jessica-Jane won a beauty competition and was quickly signed up to a top London-based modelling agency. At eighteen, Jessica-Jane decided to defer her place at DCA for a year and move to London where she quickly started making a name for herself as a ‘lads mag’ favourite and dancer in numerous music videos. Within a year, Jessica-Jane had worked with many photographers, including the late Bob Carlos Clark on his exhibition and editorial 'Love Dolls Never Die' and Byron Newman who shot her for American Playboy. As well as the modelling, Jessica-Jane took on several presenting, TV and film roles including Empire Productions' Mousakka and Chips' and MTV's 'Road To Hell'. She decided to let her place at DCA go. Just before turning twenty, Jessica-Jane won the role of head 'WAG' Cindi Marshall in Sky One’s football series 'Dream Team'. A few months after landing the role in Dream Team, Jessica-Jane was also chosen to be the 'Sexy Swindler' in The Real Hustle, and has been delighted to be a part of the team ever since. Alexis Conran was born in Paris and grew up with his family in Greece. At the age of sixteen he came to London to study as an actor at LAMDA. Since then he has been working on stage, TV and film. While working in a play, one of his fellow actors turned out to be a magician. Within three years he was working as a professional magician, specialising in card cheating, performing at private parties for London’s celebrities. His performances took him all over Europe. It was while he was working as an actor on a US feature film that he was asked to join some of the American actors in a poker game. That game was the start of a whole new career. During the game he noticed one of the players was cheating by stacking the deck before the deal. Alexis didn’t want to make a big fuss and embarrass the other players, so he decided to use his card skills to make it impossible for the cheat to win. The Real Hustle is the perfect opportunity for Alexis to combine his acting talents with his sleight of hand skills.
