Steven and Tom demonstrate how to have a sumptuous restaurant meal for pittance in a luxury restaurant. How to pose as home-owner who needs a locksmith to get in and actually rob the home. More tricks to pick pockets and sell goods on the Internet that only seems value for money if you read the description, which isn't technically untrue. Getting paid for worthless deliveries. Another party trick. Actor Axel Daeseleire impersonates an oil sheik who orders expensive jewelry brought and shown to his equally fake harem, only to steal them.

Steven rents a car and gives it a make-over, complete with fake number-plate, so Pascale can sell it 'second-hand' by Internet ad 'at half price' repeatedly and cash each candidate's down-payment. Jeroen and Veronique impersonate the director and assistant for a pop star's video clip, for which the dancers must wear scanty see-trough costumes, so the team can steal all their possessions from the locker-room and disappear. Guest Véronique is disguised to help organize a fake rock event with strict security -Tom and Jeroen- for a 'royal visit', in fact to steal the band's instruments. Jeroen sells shopping bags of prime label perfumes in the street, but only accomplice Pascale gets the real stuff. Tom pretends to be a respectable, inexistent doctor to rent a luxury hotel suite and orders lavish room service, the reports his wallet stolen and packs much more then he brought. Tom switches fake for real money while pretending to check for counterfeit bills. The pub pranks are switching water and whiskey from glasses using just an ID card and drinking water from a beer-card-covered glass without removing two coins on it, and removing a coin from a matchbox and two matches standing over it. A jeweler is robbed when Pascale plays a fat client, Tom and Jeroen cops who arrest her for counterfeit money and take the diamonds she bought along as 'evidence'.

Steven demonstrates how the classical con 'under which nutshell' is made lucrative just by a willingly loosing accomplice Tom. An innocent party trick, pocket picking and an elaborate charade to rob all guests of a restaurant by pretending to be staff collecting valuables 'for safe keeping'.
