How Jonathon landed in the grifter trade is a wonderment - good family and solid education leading to being a confidence conman? Preposterous, but true.
How he ended up in a car, camped out in front of a casino with Vince (not his true name) is also a wonderment - Vince was notoriously a lone operator. But there they were, watching the movements of a regular guest to the establishment, looking for ways to pull off their scheme.
During their wait, Vince leaned over to Jonathon. “Mark my words: float over the dirt of reality and make your own. Be like me.”
