about me
Swin D. Lure

Swin is a character that can be found in anyplace at anytime in the history of man. Where there is a crowd and cash, there has always been a conman whose true art is the manipulation of others. Though the games and tactics may change through time, the art will always stay the same. This is why Swin D. Lure can be performed in any setting, from the medieval scoundrel to the slick card shark of today.

Swin has seen and done it all but his purpose now is to show you how to beat-the-cheat. He brings back to life the street games of the past, educating you (the general public) as to how they are done. An absolute delight, you will leave his performance entertained and informed. A word to the wise, Swin D. Lure is still a man of his craft and may be tempted to sway back to his old ways. By his own omission, he is totally and completely almost definitely reformed.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to view some real class acts. I also have a love of the classics. I was asked recently who the most memorable dancer you have seen was? It did not take me long to bring the memory back in to view. As some of you may know my mother was a dancer. So she gets top billing but running a really close number two was Sally Rand. I saw her show in person at Old Chicago. Old Chicago was an indoor amusement park. Sadly neither Old Chicago nor Sally is with u... read more
